Designing a scalable business model and growth strategy

Session 3: Business and funding

Once an opportunity is defined, the next challenge is designing a business that can actually grow. A strong concept without a solid plan often leads to slow execution, unclear priorities, or funding challenges.

This inspiration session focuses on building a robust blueprint for growth: a clear strategy, business model, and execution roadmap that align vision, market needs, and operational reality.
