«Applications for the 2nd edition of Faber’s Entrepreneurship Program in partnership with Técnico are open from October 27th.
This new edition follows on from the success of the first edition. Faber Entrepreneurship Program is aimed at masters and doctoral students, and post-doctoral researchers of Técnico who want to learn how to transform innovative ideas into new businesses in technological areas through contact with entrepreneurs and investors. The program is also open to students with an interest in the topic even without having an innovative idea.
The program includes two stages. Stage 1 comprises 12 weeks with 4-hour training sessions (from March to May 2024). Stage 2 comprises a summer internship at a start-up of Faber’s portfolio. Participants can attend the 12 training weeks (stage 1) or the 12 training weeks and the summer internship (stage 1+ stage 2).
Access to the program is free and does not require participants to have a previous idea to develop.
The sessions of stage 1 will take place in a hybrid format (with some sessions with speakers online and some sessions with speakers face-to-face).
Currently, the program is not automatically awarded credit recognition at Técnico. However, students may request credits of the activity according to the rules for extra-curricular activities at Técnico.
Candidate selection will be done by evaluation of the student’s CV and motivation to participate in the program.
