Entrepreneurship Evening is a time for Hertie students and alumni to get excited about the idea of starting a business after their studies.
We’ll talk about how they can integrate entrepreneurship into their studies (particularly MDS students). We’ll introduce some of what they might want to think about in deciding whether this path will be right for them and the resources available to them in Berlin to help them out.
