The Summer Entrepreneurship Training (SET) is a training and mentoring event specifically designed for students who are really passionate about entrepreneurship. What makes SET such a special event is that it consists out of an online course and two different modules, each taking place in a different location, a different university and focusing on a different aspect of entrepreneurship.
15 students from all over the world get the chance to experience a very unique event that provides information and knowledge about how to start-up a business. Through lectures and workshops from international professors, trainers and business people, we ensure that our participants receive a high quality education. In groups of 3 they work on their own business model. With the newly acquired knowledge they generate their own business idea and develop a professional business model with the help of experienced mentors who will be coaching the teams throughout the event. At the end of the event, the teams will present their fully developed business models to a jury consisting of mentors, entrepreneurs and professors and an online auditorium. During the Gala Dinner, SET students and professionals, business people and professors will have the opportunity to connect with each other and widen their network.
