18–20 October 2026 · Three-Day Applied Program

Entrepreneurship & Business Plan Development

Move from an initial idea to a clear, testable business concept—and leave with the structure of a practical business plan you can confidently explain.

Course Overview

What This Program Gives You

Progress you can use—not just notes.

This intensive, hands-on learning experience is designed to help you turn an idea into a clear business concept and a practical plan.
