We regularly host inspirational events, such as:

Startup@Campus: kick-start your own venture and win a year of personal coaching from expert entrepreneurs.
Workshops & info sessions like Tackle Your Idea or Speed Date with Entrepreneurs. Bring your ideas, ask questions, and get feedback directly from the pros.
