THE WRAP UP: The Entrepreneurship Week

We are looking back at a successful and inspiring week of events. We kicked-off the week with a lecture by Caro van de Venne, discussed the hot topic of Women in Entrepreneurship and closed off by granting young entrepreneurs to continue their entrepreneurial journey during the Entrepreneurship Awards. Together with Alijd van Doorn, BNA and several guest speakers, we hosted four workshops regarding the topic “How do I start my own design firm?” for a large group of ambitious students. We are sure we have inspired many to develop their good ideas and think like an entrepreneur. Do you want to read more or view the photo’s click here.
