The University Politehnica of Bucharest (UPB) will organise between 21 and 22 November, the third edition of the event called "Start your StartUP", a programme dedicated exclusively to pupils and students who want to turn bold ideas into real business projects.
"This year's edition represents the largest university initiative in Romania for training the next generation of entrepreneurs. 'Start your StartUP' has become a benchmark for young people with entrepreneurial potential, providing them with a complex platform where ideas gain direction and talent meets professional mentoring. The event takes place in two stages: a registration and business plan evaluation phase, and a final stage in which pupils and students present their ideas live to the jury (21-22 November)," according to a release.
According to the quoted source, this year 25 pupil teams and 15 student teams will reach the final stage, each with ambitious projects that could become tomorrow's success stories in Romanian entrepreneurship.
Students and pupils will have the opportunity to interact directly with entrepreneurs, start-up founders, investors and technology companies. Moreover, within the live sessions, the participants will receive individual mentoring, advice on product development, business idea validation and pitch preparation - essential skills for the new generation of entrepreneurs.
According to same source, the "Start your StartUP 2025" includes an exhibition area, workshops dedicated to entrepreneurial skills, meetings with industry leaders and a networking platform dedicated to young people with initiative.
"We want every student, no matter how small their idea, to feel that within this event they gain access to resources, mentoring and confidence. 'Start your StartUP' is an exercise in responsibility towards the future and a direct investment in the generation that will shape the economy of the coming decades," UPB Rector Mihnea Costoiu said, as quoted in the press release.
In previous editions, hundreds of pupils and students worked with mentors and were exposed to real business situations, with their projects attracting the interest of companies and innovation incubators. Participation is free and all the details are available on the event's official platform: https://startup.upb.ro/.
With a tradition of over 200 years, the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest is the largest university in Romania.
