I really enjoyed about the I.E.C.T. Summer School the keynotes in the morning. But one of my favorite things was probably the panel discussions about scaling and how to grow the business. There's so many different aspects to it, not just growing the business, but growing the product. Both were such interesting topics that were really informative.

From a scientist's point of view, I have to say that there are many differences between the world of scientists and the business world, even though the concept may be similar. I really learned at the I.E.C.T. Summer School how to think, what are the key words and how to look at problems from a new perspective.

Die IECT Summer School bietet die Möglichkeit in einem kompakten Format und in einem geschützten Umfeld von Top-Experten aller wichtigen Disziplinen des Unternehmensaufbaus - vom Team Building bis hin zum Venture Capital - zu lernen und hilfreiche Tipps für die eigene Gründung zu gewinnen. Zurückblickend waren für Easelink und mich besonders die Learnings zur IP Strategie sehr wertvoll. Zudem bietet das IECT Zugang zu einem hervorragenden Netzwerk von Personen, die mit fachlichem Sparring und/oder Netzwerk Zugängen weiterhelfen können.

IECT kickstarted my entrepreneurial journey. I knew I wanted to go down that road but did not know how. As an alumnus of the program I am grateful for the invaluable experience, knowledge and network which allowed me to start and grow my company.

Die I.E.C.T. Summerschool war eine extrem wertvolle Zeit, die uns in dem Bereich business development einen großen Schritt weitergebracht hat. Wir konnten besonders von den spannenden Vorträgen, den 1:1 sessions mit den Experten und dem großen Netzwerk profitieren.

During the Programme I didn’t only get valuable insights on how to maneuver start-up life, more importantly, I won mentors, peers, friends, personally caring about each other. This community feeling and focus on creating a safe space makes the I.E.C.T. program stand out.

The IECT team and the LBG IRP programme really transformed my perspective, from an academic to an entrepreneurial one. Learning to make decisions through uncertainty and building the foundations of trust in myself and my team along with the invaluable personal mentoring have shaped where I am today.
