Event Date
The UC Trust in the UK and IE University invite UC Davis alumni for a conversation with four UC and IE alumni entrepreneurs who have successfully grown businesses in Spain. This hybrid event will offer insights into starting a business — from the first idea to overcoming obstacles, navigating EU regulations, and sustaining a successful business.
The panel will be moderated by Dr. Ikhlaq Sidhu, who is the Dean of the School of Science and Technology at IE University and founding director of UC Berkeley's Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology since 2005.
Whether you're just beginning to explore entrepreneurship, developing a business idea or preparing to launch a start-up, this discussion will provide valuable insights on the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, business development and honest advice from those who’ve done it.
You can attend this event in person at the IE Tower in Madrid or virtually. Both in-person and virtual options offer guests the opportunity to participate in the Q&A portion of the panel.
