An enriching program

From starting a business, international development, investment to franchise creation, the Start-Up Summit is simply the event that allows students to deepen their understanding of entrepreneurship.

The program included practical advice on how to develop your business in a foreign country and in a different cultural environment. Students also had the opportunity to learn more about international trading, a crucial subject for any company wishing to expand abroad.

Advice was also given on the role of business angels and how they can help start-ups grow. Finally, the Start Up Summit closed with several coaching sessions to help students pitch their projects: an opportunity to hone their presentation skills and convince potential future investors.

We’d like to thank all the speakers and professionals who took part in this 3rd edition of the “Start-up Summit” and look forward to seeing what the future holds for our students!
