Speed@BDD will be joining forces with the Lebanese American University (LAU) for the “Achieving Creative Entrepreneurs” (ACE), a new program tailored to shape the youth’s entrepreneurial skills.

ACE will consist of 5 full-day workshops, spread over two months, which will be delivered by Speed@BDD mentors. The initiative will cover the basics of entrepreneurship, including business models, pitching, accounting, and marketing, in order to help students transform their ideas into innovations.

With the help of mentors and committee moderators, students will form teams, draft business presentations, and pitch their startups to a jury at the end of the program.
