STARTUP WISE GUYS│JUMP FOR CEE

Join JUMP for CEE to learn step-by-step how to go from a small idea at the back of your head to building your own digital business. 🎯
 
After an idea has been shaped it has to be turned into a product or a solution, and a Hackathon is a great way how to do exactly that. During intense 48 hours, you get to develop your idea further continuing the work started during an Idea hack event, finding additional teammates if you already have an idea, and/or testing a particular functionality in your existing product.
 
If you want to either start your own business or are looking for changing your career path towards digital entrepreneurship, they are looking for you! This program is here to help you to recover from the current economic (covid) crisis ​​through best-in-class business idea generation workshops, hackathons, and pre-acceleration under the guidance of experienced international mentors from the Startup Wise Guys accelerator network.
