For 5 weeks over summer 2016 I was lucky enough to be one of the startup business coaches on the Climate KIC Journey Programme.
With a group of 36 students from universities across Europe, we spent 2 weeks based in Den Haag visiting and being inspired by a range of urban and academic sustainability initiatives, before moving on to NTNU in Trondheim Norway for design thinking and entrepreneurship workshops and then finally an intensive week in at Warwick University campus finalising their startup business plans and honing pitching skills.
Here’s a taster of some of the 1st weeks activities in the Netherlands, with lots more to follow!
