Cluj
Between 26 and 29 November 2023, part of our first and second year students, together with their professors Mihaela-Cornelia DAN and Cristian Negrutiu from Sparking Capital, were on a study trip to Cluj-Napoca
The objective of the trip is to learn more about tech entrepreneurship, its beginnings, development, and future directions in the global business environment.
The first day, they met the management team of Fortech Investments and learned about the investment process, how to pitch a business idea, and what elements are important for potential investors. A special guest speaker was Philip Choban, founder of Telios Care. He shared with us his life experience and inspired the students to act as entrepreneurs in the very challenging environment of today.
Further, they met Vlad Cazan, Co-Founder of KFactory®, who revealed how the digital transformation of the industry, mainly production plants, improves processes at all levels of the business. At #Teconnex Europe and #Teconnex Group, they could see how the value of “Create our future” is being demonstrated by investing in digitized solutions as part of the company’s strategic plan.
Sofia
During 11th and 15th of March, our students from the program “Master in Entrepreneurship”, participated in a traineeship program organized in Sofia to discover the Bulgarian Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.
As part of their work, they had to collect data from different institutions. For the first two days, the students visited Sofia Tech Park, the Embassy of Romania in Bulgaria and Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (FEBA), Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. In the second part of the week, the students visited several organizations, ranging from venture capital funds, like LAUNCHub Ventures and Eleven Ventures to companies like Emag and Flip.
The students discovered together the thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem from Bulgaria, share experiences, ideas, future projects and, last, but not least, have fun together. Our gratitude goes to all the people involved, who share the same enthusiasm in building the next generation of entrepreneurs.
