Location
It only takes one weekend to realize your entrepreneurial idea!
In the recent times, we've heard a lot of theory on the topic of going from idea to product/company/production. On this student startup weekend, we will practically apply this newly acquired knowledge.
Students with ideas, mark in your application whether you already have a team or not. If not, no worries, as the first part of the Student Startup weekend is team building, where you can get new members with whom you will go on the road from idea to product.
The students who want to join a team, say so in your application. As mentioned, the first part of the event is an opportunity for you to choose which idea to join.
The number of places is limited and applications are only open until Tuesday the 19th of April 2017.
Practically, fun, innovatively, and creatively to the realization of your business idea!
