Academic Centre
The Camp is based on practical classes and teamwork aimed at effectively growing ideas into realistic and potential businesses by simulating real-life business situations. This is an opportunity to expand your network, as the new entrepreneurs will meet local businessmen, potential clients, partners and investors in Riga and Cambridge.
What did last year’s graduates say about the Camp? “Lots of insight to the real business world. Highly valuable experience! Speakers – they are great! Atmosphere – outstanding! We met the legendary Jack Lang, inventor of the 5$ computer – Raspberry Pi. He led one of the classes and visited Cambridge Design Partnership as well as other innovation centres. The opportunity to meet them all and see it all – very motivating!”
