Business Today is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded by Steve Forbes in 1968. For the past 50 years, our goal has been to bridge the gap between influential business leaders from all industries and top undergraduate students from across the world. BT creates a dynamic forum in which students from all backgrounds can be educated and inspired.
