Onko ideassasi liiketoimintapotentiaalia tai onko yrittäjyys haaveenasi? Oletko ajatellut, mitä teet opiskelijaelämän päättyessä? Ota tulevaisuus omiin käsiisi! Avanto Accelerator -ohjelman kautta pääset askeleen lähemmäs yrittäjyyttä osana opintojasi, saat tietoja yrityksen perustamisesta ja kehität työelämätaitojasi. Avanto Accelerator auttaa kehittämään ideoista liiketoimintaa sekä kannustaa opiskelijoita yrittäjyyteen.

Pyrimme vahvistamaan korkeakoulujen yrittäjähenkisyyttä, sillä työskenteleminen pienessä yrityksessä on entistä useammalle opiskelijalle todennäköinen uravaihtoehto. Tavoitteenamme on kouluttaa ammattilaisia, jotka osaavat soveltaa tulevaisuuden työelämässä osaamistaan ja luoda uutta.
