Politehnica University Timișoara is particularly supportive of business development by students and graduates. In this respect, one year ago the Student Entrepreneurial Society of UPT (SAS-UPT) was set up and in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering there was created a space for the support of students who want to start a business as well as a business accelerator.
Also, for the support of students with entrepreneurial abilities, on 24th of October 2018, in the K1 amphitheater of the UPT Conference Center, which proved to be to smaill to accomodate all those interested, took place the Entrepreneur 21 event, held within the Student Entrepreneurial Society of UPT (SAS-UPT) in partnership with INCUBOXX and with the support of student organizations members of COSPol.
Within this action, several successful entrepreneurs provided information on the steps needed to start a successful business, developing a business plan, choosing financing solutions, and implementing business strategies.
Students present at the event could ask questions and find answers, especially on the first steps in starting a business, with the problems and difficulties inherent in any start.
After the event, interested students have the opportunity to participate in a Business Ideas Competition, having the chance to join the student business accelerator and then be transferred to INCUBOXX or IncubArt.
The entire action was carried out under the project CNFIS-FDI-2018-0533 entitled "Development of a Student Business Accelerator within the Student Entrepreneurship Society of Politehnica University Timisoara - DAAS_SAS-UPT".
