Entrepreneurship Award

Turning ideas into projects

What is the OBS Entrepreneurship Award?

 

This is the last stage of our Entrepreneurship Path.

 

Thanks to the participation in this award you will get the boost that your business idea needs, as you will obtain the international visibility and recognition that will allow you to take your project to the next level, as well as being able to compete with the other finalists for a financial prize to invest in the acceleration of your company.

 

The Career Services area organises the OBS Entrepreneurship Award, an event that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, students and, in general, the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem of the School.
