Launching Startup Ideas in 54 Hours — Even If You Have No Idea How

 

Students from Perrotis College and ISAEK participated in the Techstars Startup Weekend Thessaloniki, an immersive 54-hour entrepreneurial experience where participants develop a startup idea from scratch, build a prototype, collaborate with mentors, and pitch to a panel of judges.

We are truly proud of our students for their creativity, teamwork and strong presence throughout the event. Below are the projects they developed:
