🚀 Thinking about starting your own company?

Have a great idea, a research project with potential, or simply wondered what it actually takes to turn an idea into a startup?

Join us for an interactive 45-minute session on entrepreneurship and startup building, where we’ll talk about the real journey from idea to company — including the good, the bad, and the lessons learned along the way.
 

What we’ll cover

💡 From Idea to Business – How to identify a real problem, validate your idea and build an MVP

👥 Building the Right Team – Finding co-founders, defining roles and creating a strong team

💰 Funding & Support – Grants, EXIST, KIT support, investors, incubators and other opportunities

🌟 Best Practices & Real-World Examples – What successful founders did right

💥 Fails & Lessons Learned – Common mistakes, unexpected challenges and what we wish we had known earlier

💬 Discussion & Q&A – Bring your questions and challenges!
 

Whether you already have a startup idea or are just curious about entrepreneurship — you’re very welcome.
 

Come along, get inspired, ask questions, and learn what it takes to turn an idea into something real. 🚀

PS: There will be Pizza & Drinks just before the session 😊
