This year has been a success for Circle U.!

We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the academic year 2022-2023 for the entrepreneurship program at Circle U.!

Several student entrepreneurs from three universities (Aarhus University, Université Paris Cité and UCLouvain) completed an entrepreneurial internship in various incubators located in Denmark, France and Belgium, respectively.

During their visit to Aarhus University, they visited the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO) and engaged in discussions with other students and coaches about marketing, branding, and packaging.

Following that, they visited Université Paris Cité, where they discovered Station F (the largest startup campus in the world) and participated in an entrepreneurial escape game organized by Pépite Créaj IDF.

The final stage of their journey was held at UCLouvain on 15 and 16 June. They met other students entrepreneurs and had a workshop on the art of pitching at the Yncubator and discussed prototyping issues at the OpenHub (FabLab). They also visited a brewery founded by UCLouvain alumni.

This international mobility project aimed at introducing our student entrepreneurs to various entrepreneurial ecosystems. It was initiated by a team of Circle U. academic chairs and leads: Amélie Jacquemin, Morten Foss, Merethe Kruse, Viktória Nagy and Nicolas Lomenie.

The ambition is now to scale up this project to have student entrepreneurs from the 9 partner universities on board!
