As we were accompanying clients in developing their business structure to get ready to apply on grants, we often noticed that this step was already to far ahead and that many entrepreneurs needed to take a step back and get familiar with a few key concepts.
Thus, we created a series of conversations from which participants will get the chance to become familiar with these, talk about them in networking with peers and find applications for their projects.
