Start-up weekend: more than just wood!

Day 12. June 2014 posted Stanislava Vabšek
 
Are you interested in wood? Do you have an idea of how to make it into an interesting product or wish to work with it? Come to the first “wooden” start-up weekend, taking place from the 20th to the 22nd of June 2014 at the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana. 

If you recognize that wood presents a promising business opportunity and have an idea of how to make it into an interesting product, join us at the start-up weekend that will take place at the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana from the 20th to the 22nd of June.
 
During the start-up weekend you will have the chance to:
  • Discover the opportunities of the wood industry, as you will be in the company of entrepreneurs/businessmen/academicians who work with wood,
  • Present your business idea and pick a motivated team or merely join a team whose idea you find the best,
  • Spend three days developing the initial idea under the mentorship of experienced business mentors,
  • Gain priceless experience concerning the development of business ideas,
  • Present the project to an expert committee that will evaluate the idea’s potential.
It’s not important what you’re studying and whether you have an idea. It’s important that you have ambition and will as well as are prepared to spend one weekend checking what’s possible to learn and create in such a short time. Don’t hesitate, don’t think too much; simply apply if you share the opinion that wood needs to be given more attention.
