Impact Hub Basel
2021 Theme “Youth Entrepreneurship”
Entrepreneurs create jobs, increase innovation, increase competition, and respond to changing economic opportunities and trends. Entrepreneurship provides other positive externalities. A young person starting a new business can have “demonstration” or learning effects, as he or she can act as a role model for other young people.
We want to show young people in the Basel region entrepreneurship
as an alternative to the “classic career path” and provide a platform
for entrepreneurs who are already active.
Impact Hub Basel
Youth Entrepreneurship Workshop
November 10, 2021; 18:00 – 20:00
The end of school, your training or your studies is in sight, but you don’t know what to do next? Are you ready to shape the future, but the classic job doesn’t inspire you much?
Take your future into your own hands and learn about an alternative career path. Meet young entrepreneurs and self-employed people at our Global Entrepreneurship Week event and be inspired by their careers. And who knows, maybe you’ll start your own business afterwards or meet future comrades-in-arms…
- Keynote: Futurists (skills, training, working world, contracts, gig economy)
- Inspiring short presentations by the young founders
- Moderated exchange between the two groups (young people and founders/self-employed)
The event is for free, there is no attendance fee.
