Do you have what it takes?
EntrePrep will teach you to plan a business, pitch to potential investors and launch your company or social venture. You will see real-world adaptations of entrepreneurial ideas through discussions with guest lecturers. In teams, you will brainstorm ideas for businesses, then develop a business out of one of these ideas—including financing, marketing and sales—which you will then manage throughout the institute.

The EntrePrep experience does not stop with the excellent theoretical foundations you will learn from well-qualified teachers in economics and experienced entrepreneurs. You will also run a "Business for a Day". By taking the reins of your own business you will be able to truly grasp some of the aspects of real world entrepreneurship. After you have run your business you will prepare a presentation of your experience to review and share in analysis and discussion with your peers and mentors.
