Main objective

The main objective of Liguria Crea Impresa is to help young startuppers understand the potential of their ideas and to develop those with the best business possibilities. It is therefore important to provide them with expert advice and the opportunity to develop the best ideas. In addition to theoretical concepts for idea development, participants were provided with presentation techniques to be able to participate in contests with investors.

Main activities

We have trained an audience of potential start-up entrepreneurial bases, creating formative contents that are useful for understanding and defining innovative business models. D+S and Wylab guided the participants in exploring their concepts, assisting them in defining the key elements of different business ideas, identifying potentialities and entrepreneurial opportunities, and forming them through lessons and workshops.
