De acht studentbedrijven van International Business (IB) beginnen momenteel aan hun verkoopcyclus. Dit semesterprogramma stimuleert innovatie en ondernemerschap op een coöperatieve en praktische manier. De tweedejaars IB-studenten zijn in het eerste semester begonnen met het uitwerken van hun product- en dienstideeën. In een online "Dragon's Den"-competitie in december 2020 selecteerde een panel van ondernemerschaps- en innovatiedeskundigen uit de regio en uit het buitenland de ideeën die door zouden gaan naar het Student Company International-programma van 2021.
Het programma wordt sterk gekenmerkt door een sterke focus op zeer relevante kwesties. Alle acht bedrijven zijn gericht op duurzaamheid, sociale verbondenheid, of beide. Vanwege coronamaatregelen hebben de bedrijven tot nu toe vooral online gewerkt.
