17-19 Feb. Learn, Network, Startup! John Cabot University hosts the first Startup Weekend Rome, which will be held in English, from 17-19 February. 

Young entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to create their own startup with other like-minded people during a three-day full-immersion experience in entrepreneurship.

Participants will be able to pitch an original idea - either their own project or by joining a team whose idea appeals to them - learning skills along the way such as leadership, problem-solving, networking and the ability to work under pressure.

The winning team will be given a host of professional consulting in legal and marketing, as well as space and resources at Bside Coworking to realise their idea's full potential.

The weekend costs €70, which includes all meals, for full details see Facebook event page or website.
