Let's Start Up

o, ESN Bocconi Milano, ESN Unicatt Milano, ESN Milano Statale and ESN Milano-Bicocca), also known as ESN Milano Unita, are co-working in order to make this contest real. OUR VISION
LSUP project was born from an idea by Lorenzo Campini, Head of the AGM OC. Together with him, we strongly believe that an international mobility experience is a unique lifetime experience that gives students the opportunity to realize their expectations and their dreams making them more confident, open-minded, multicultural, flexible and critical. So, why not give them one more opportunity to show what they have learnt? ESN is an international power based on the “students helping students” principle. The association is extremely widespread in Europe, but it takes care of incoming students from all over the world. So our position is perfect to become a bridge between international young people who want to get involved and our partners, representatives of the business world at the highest levels. Why Milan? Milan is one of the most important business cities in all Europe. Furthermore, it is a real international place where many different cultures meet and create a cool environment made on creative and innovative profiles. OUR MISSION
LSUP has a competition format because we are convinced that startup ideas are the best demonstration of exchange and mobility programs values. However, so many other things well represent these values… Why have we chosen exactly a startup competition? This contest is aimed at achieving very important goals. The main ones are:

- To link students with the job market, offering companies the chance to meet outstanding, capable and willing young workers

- To promote the innovative entrepreneurial culture, encouraging students and recent graduates to start entrepreneur initiatives with the support of important Italian and European companies

- To facilitate the comparison among international start-uppers that would make possible the emergence of strong interactions and collaborations

- To offer international students a challenging opportunity to test themselves
