Sustainability Start-Up Seminar

Ever wondered what it takes and what it’s like to get together with a group of motivated peers and develop your own start-up idea? And even better, one that is related to a sustainability topic that is close to your heart and mind? Then join the Sustainability Start-Up Seminar!

• In lectures and workshops held by start-up experts and real-world entrepreneurs you will learn how to come up with start-up ideas and to develop them into a business.
• During individual working session you’ll gain experience in developing, testing and presenting your idea and will eventually participate in a external page start-up competition.

In fact, the cohort of the spring semester 2014 developed three award-winning start-up ideas that received support, fame and cash (see the news here).

Voices from former Sustainability Start-Up Seminar participants:

„Huge opportunity to improve your ideation, organization and persuasion capability.“

„Thanks to this course we were able to develop an award winning business idea out of a vague idea in our heads. There are also a lot of pitches.“
