Jonathan Sitruk, coordinator of the Minor Entrepreneurship: 'The pitching event is an important milestone in the minor program. 75 students have worked on 23 startups since September, going through the joys and challenges of creating a new venture. During this journey, the students get weekly professional coaching and can attend practical entrepreneurial workshops. In addition, mentors and guest speakers from the industry help them to tailor their business idea.'
