Ideas and exchange
From pitch training to the circular economy: networking event for creative start-up ideas
The Freiraum (Bärenstraße 11-13, 42117 Wuppertal) will open its doors from 2 pm. Over snacks and drinks, participants can find out more about the student co-working space at the University of Wuppertal, the services offered by the Start-up Centre (SUC) and the work of Women Entrepreneurs in Science (WES).
Without a fixed programme, four themed areas can be visited from 3 pm:
- Sustainability Space: Here, interested parties can find out what sustainability means for start-ups and how the circular economy and other models can be implemented to make an impact.
- Design Discussion: From product design and user experience to branding - this area offers the opportunity for in-depth discussions and creative exchange.
- Business Model Booster: Participants can scrutinise their business models and develop them further with well-founded feedback and suggestions for optimisation. Those who do not yet have an idea will learn the basics of a business model and how it can be developed.
- Pitch training: The art of pitching is essential for founders, but it is also a valuable skill. Participants will receive valuable tips on how to set up a pitch deck and give a presentation.
From 6 pm it's spot on: Key players in the WES network will be given a stage to thank them for their commitment and showcase the diversity of the female start-up scene.
The event is aimed at students, founders and creative minds, regardless of their university or professional background.
Interested parties can register on the event website.
