Venture Academy
The Venture Academy aims to help SMEs that have been selected to present at the Alpine Venture Forum. Experienced coaches from the relevant industry areas will work very pragmatically with the presenters to prepare them for their participation on the next day.
Focus will be on how to meet strategic partners and potential investors’ expectations. Participants will receive guidance on how their presentations and propositions compared with those of other participants, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses which need to be addressed and improved.
The Presentation Dry-Run will take place on Monday, 5th May from 14:00 - 18.30.
