Huawei opens its young entrepreneur platform to Swiss students
"Rethinking is good, implementing is better. This is the motto of this year's Digital Seeds, an interactive coaching program by Huawei for aspiring young entrepreneurs, in which Swiss students are explicitly invited to participate for the first time.
Future leaders of the digital economy need more than a first-class university degree. The seeds for digital entrepreneurship must be sown early. This is where the name of a global Huawei program for budding entrepreneurs comes from: "Seeds for the Future". Under this umbrella, the "Digital Seeds" initiative is taking place in German-speaking countries. The goal is to equip 100 students with problem-solving skills and to sharpen their analytical thinking and digital creativity. For the first time, students from Swiss universities and technical colleges are also allowed to participate in the young entrepreneur platform.
A modular program with an attractive final destination
In the program presented here, students learn entrepreneurial thinking, exchange ideas and gain the hard and soft skills to develop their own technology-driven business ideas. Formats such as roundtables, EXEC briefings, ideathons or pitch rounds are combined to elicit the best of the best. An exclusive network of young leaders and changemakers is created. In several stages, a jury selects the best teams and finally sends the three best to China. There, they come into contact with Chinese students, immerse themselves in the innovation culture of this country and together cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit of the coming tech generation, which is measuring itself across borders.
