There will be up to 20 lectures on entrepreneurship, technology, design, business and marketing. They will also learn the experiences of well-known and successful ICT entrepreneurs through mentorship, which will help them to build their products and launch their first startups! We have a demo day on the last day (8 Jun) to invite incubators, investors, entrepreneurs and the general public to see the results.
