Climate-KIC
“I keep in my mind so many wonderful moments with you [coaches] and the students. I've never experienced something like that before, and in a way, it changed my vision of how we can build together the (our) future.
The power of a group such as this cannot really be described, it was my best experience so far, and finding again a group with so many talents appears to be quite impossible.”
Testimony of Alice, J2014 student:
“What this summer school made me realised is that even young people can be taken seriously as entrepreneurs and have their own businesses. I think my perception of the business world was too stiff, and having another international experience was very mind-broadening”.
Testimony of Florian Cochard,J6/2014 student
