Panther bootcamp
Panther is a program by Flanders Business School/KULeuven. Within the program, participants develop their business idea into a fundable and sustainable business plan.
We offer an intensive training and coaching trajectory consisting of 5 sessions of 2,5 day each, which combine lectures, development and pitching activities. Each session (from Wednesday till Friday) is organized at a different location (Antwerp/Leuven, Eindhoven, Enschede, Berlin, Pisa) and hosted by organizations that excel in knowledge intensive entrepreneurship. This set-up offers an unique opportunity to learn from and become inspired by different local entrepreneurial eco-systems across Europe and to engrain this knowledge in the development trajectory of the venture.

(Flanders Business School/KULeuven, Antwerp, March 14 - 16) - Session 2: 2 days - Designing your opportunity
