The event gave students the opportunity to practically master the key stages of launching a startup — from forming a team to developing a business strategy using modern technologies.
Participants formed teams and went through all stages of business creation. The guys studied methods of developing entrepreneurial thinking and understood the difference between a technological startup and traditional entrepreneurship, analyzed real examples of well-known companies, developed strategies for promoting their ideas using artificial intelligence tools, determined the product’s value, communication methods with clients, calculated costs, and forecasted demand.
More than 60 students from various courses and fields participated in the training.
