Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2025 9:59 am
No entrepreneur grows alone. You may have great ideas and be a highly motivated person, but if you live in a bubble, it will be difficult to achieve your goals. Exchanging experiences is essential for innovation. That is why entrepreneurship events are so successful.
Here at ACP, our team is present at events of this type, so much so that last year we were at RD Summit, Startup Summit and ViaSoft Connect. Not to mention the meetings we hold in our own home, of course.
If you’re a first-time entrepreneur or student database starting out, keep an eye out for the following events.
