1. Description of the challenge
Want to be an investor or business developer at LIOF for a day? Are you ready to put your skills to the test and tackle a real-life investment case? With real-world business development elements. Together with fellow students you will participate in a case study, in which you have to use your analytical and negotiation skills to reach a deal and help a startup take the first steps. Along the way you will experience the challenges faced by the investor, but also the startup founders. This investment case will challenge you to think outside the box, evaluate business opportunities, and develop strategies for growth and success. At the end of the case study you will have a better understanding about the ins and outs of working at LIOF.
2. Expected outcome

You will have the chance to for example conduct a SWOT analysis or create a business model canvas, using your creativity and critical thinking skills to develop a winning strategy!

Students in all directions are welcome! Having affinity with sustainable innovations is a plus.
