International Entrepreneurship School – FABIZ
Second Edition

⋅10 – 16 September 2023, Predeal⋅

What are we doing?

The Faculty of Business Administration with Teaching in Foreign Languages (FABIZ) is organizing the “International School of Entrepreneurship” event between September 10-16, 2023, in Predeal, addressed to students and graduates of higher education (alumni) who want to develop their entrepreneurial skills.

We want to set a benchmark in this area of pre-incubation and mentoring of future entrepreneurs.

What we aim from our Entrepreneurship School is for you to learn how to steer your business idea into reality and, then, build a working business model ready for scaling. This path is valued also by investors that you may pitch for your startup as well as by corporate employers who search for their future intrapreneurs.

Our 6-days schedule includes engaging sessions with entrepreneurs and business experts on the following topics:

  • Kick-off: Unpacking the Entrepreneurial Mindset
  • Exploring the Problem-Solution Fit
  • Ideation Techniques and Design Thinking for Entrepreneurship
  • Introduction to Design Thinking
  • Lean Startup 101: Building, Measuring, Learning, and the MVP
  • Decoding Your Customer: Building the Ideal Customer Profile & Buyer Persona
  • Proving the Hypothesis: Customer Validation Techniques
  • Guiding the Ship: Financial Planning for Startups
  • Winning Hearts and Minds: Pitching Your Idea
  • Scaling Up: Sales and Marketing Strategies for Startups
  • Startup Funding: Exploring Various Routes for Capital

Each session is designed to help you acquire and apply specific techniques that will further help you during the week sessions and then, in your business.

What to expect from such sessions:

  • Direct interaction with lecturers, not a simple unidirectional information transfer
  • Inspiration from seasoned entrepreneurs that will attend the sessions
  • Learning by experience in the class together with your peers
  • Team alchemy that would help you boost your perspective on what you could achieve
