Idea Slam

More than 130 students, faculty, and professionals from public and private universities throughout Northern and Central Greece came together at ACT for a student-oriented workshop on Startup Business Idea-generation & Pitching. 

Dr. Vasilis Nikolopoulos, Founder of  Intelen, and one of Greece’s most experienced and active Entrepreneurs, started the event  with “Pitch Me Baby” – an overview of what, how, and why to pitch a Startup Idea to investors or judges of Entrepreneurial contests. Directly after the presentation, students broke into teams and, with the help of coaches, worked to generate an idea and model for a new Business enterprise.

After 2 hours of discussion, cooperation, and hard work, each team pitched their idea to the audience, and received feedback from the judges on how they might improve it, and even realize it as an actual business in the marketplace.
