Three start-up talks were held this semester. In October, a founder from France and a founder from Germany shared their experiences on how to start a science-based start-up. 77 participants attended the speeches and the following discussion.
In November, social entrepreneurship was the topic, with two speakers from Germany and one from Switzerland, talking about how companies can focus on impact instead of solely profit. As Nicola Gepperth, one of the speakers, said at the end of her speech: Do what you love!
The third talk on 9 December focussed on the big question facing every start-up – how to get the money to begin. An entrepreneur from Switzerland and France, respectively, gave insights into their journeys and shared their learnings.
