This is the fanpage for Almería Entrepreneurship Summer Academy of Simulations, Virtual and Augmented Reality 2016 for young European students with entrepreneurial ambitions. During this summer 2016, the second round of STARTIFY7 academies will take place in four different European locations: Twente (IT-driven Social Entrepreneurship), Katowice (Video Games), Thesaloniki (Digital Transportation) and Almería (Simulations, Virtual and Augmented Reality). Each academy will welcome around 40 participants who will work in teams with an innovative lean-training structure and curricula as they develop their entrepreneurship ideas and associated technical skills based on the academy theme. Each academy will enable participants to acquire necessary entrepreneurial skills (Opportunity identification, Design thinking, Pitches planning, Pitches delivering, Teamwork), enforce key attitues (Flexibility, Creativity, Initiative, Problem Solving, Risk understanding/taking, Responsibility) and learn technical and business concepts (Key challenges of the Industry, Lean Business Planning, Business Model Canvas + Value Proposition Canvas, Marketing, Finance, Strategy). The 3 best performing teams from each academy will be selected to attend a fast paced 3-day acceleration boot-camp in Brussels during Fall 2016 where they will present their demos and pitch in front of a Pan-European audience of practitioners, investors and business angels. Make the most of your summer with StARTIFY7 and go on an entrepreneurial adventure!
