Yesterday we led a process in Kirkenes for 60 young great entrepreneurs living in Norway, Sweden and Russia. Guest lectures were held by businessman Trond Haukanes from Sør-Varanger Invest and editor Thomas Nilsen from Barents Observer. The entrepreneurs did group work where they created fictional businesses based on each groups interest and skills, they pitched success factors for each other, and gave great presentations from their regions.
The workshop was a part of Barents Innovation Week arranged by Ungt Entreprenørskap Finnmark.
