Resumen
Many IT students may have the image of possessing good technical and analytical skills while creativity and entrepreneurship are lacking.
The GeLve project has been started and aims to help students to gain more business knowledge.
The virtual company, SVG Corporation, has established with multiple departments and AI robots in Second Life so as to simulate the realworld business environment.

This paper discusses our development effort, student arrangement, design and progresses
