A new session of panel presentations
Yesterday, on September 24th in the afternoon, there was another successful session of panel presentations! An extensive number of entrepreneurs tried in one hour to convince the panel members of the value of their evolving business plan.
Like Jos Koenders, whose aim is to contribute in the ongoing battle against climate change, by using his innovation to save energy inside houses and offices. Or Dennis Doubovski who gave an insight in his effort to bring the world wide web on a higher level, this time by creating an innovative application to make life a lot easier for both – suppliers and buyers of products on the Internet.
The comments of the panels where ranging from cheerful curiosity, to (some) firm criticism… but, of course, all in a thoughtful effort to help the entrepreneurs on their way to success!
Upcoming VentureClass! Presenter: Paula Englis
On Thursday October 8, Dr. Englis will give a presentation about entrepreneurial firms in the context of international strategies.
Location: “The Corridor” , Hengelosestraat 525-527, Enschede
Knowledge intensive firms face many challenges and opportunities in doing business; among these are numerous issues that arise when doing business across national borders. While traditional theories of international expansion tend to focus on incremental internationalization, her discussion centers on rapid and more innovative ways for knowledge intensive firms to expand beyond national boundaries. Using a series of case studies, her presentation will focus on opportunities and competition present in the developed world as well as the rapidly expanding opportunities in less developed and especially from “the bottom of the pyramid.”
The VentureClass is free and open to everyone. Go to the VentureClass application form to register your presence.
