What does it take to carry a business idea from thought to reality, to greater scale and profitability? The course focuses on business development and entrepreneurship in practice, with experienced lecturers, concrete exercises and pitching. The goal is not perfect plans but small quick steps in the right direction.
Contact me about: the course Business planning for growth companies, 7.5 credits, and about offering the course at your university.
Anna Frosch
Regional Manager, Bergslagen

“When local ideas get wind under their wings, the whole region's competitiveness and confidence in the future grow stronger.”
I have always been driven by seeing people grow and dare to invest in their ideas. I know the potential that exists in Dalarna and our neighbouring regions, but also that many ideas never get the chance to take off. Through Venture Cup I want to change that.
Contact me about: competitions, education, collaborations and partnerships in the Bergslagen region.

Contact me about: social media, marketing and communication.
What does it take to bring a business idea from thought to reality, greater scale and profitability? Venture Cup's education focuses on business development and entrepreneurship in practice. Through experienced lecturers, hands-on exercises, pitch sessions and theoretically grounded tools, participants formulate, validate and develop their business ideas. The goal is not perfect plans, but a sustainable and effective entrepreneurial method, small fast steps in the right direction and a better understanding of what it takes to move an idea forward.
