It was an invaluable opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow!

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to develop my project and bring it to life through the Student Incubator. The management and communication classes were great examples of the courses offered, and they built upon each other throughout the program. My team and I were able to refine and improve our project with each masterclass. Meeting people from different universities was also a fantastic experience.
