This session is specifically designed for PhD students and researchers from Croatian universities aiming to bridge the gap between academic research and entrepreneurial venture creation.  

The workshop will introduce a framework for bringing innovative ideas to market, highlight financing options for business ventures, and showcase success stories. This is also a perfect chance for PhD students and scientists to learn about the opportunities available through EIT Foods's Business Creation portfolio.

This workshop is organised by EIT Food HUB Consortium partners (Smion & University of Zagreb Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology) as part of the conference “Biotechnical Science PhD Days 2024”.
