Deadline: 29 July 2024
Registration is now open for the Milestone Makers Programme for Entrepreneurs - Autumn 2024 . Milestone Makers is not just a programme; it's a game changer for entrepreneurs. Launched in 2016 by the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, it is a prestigious and fully personalised platform that offers a 3-month part-time journey where selected entrepreneurs receive invaluable support, training and resources at no cost. The essence of the programme is to help these entrepreneurs define, achieve and celebrate crucial milestones for the growth of their companies.
At the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Centre, they are committed to investing in individuals who take big risks to solve problems in new ways. That's why they created Milestone Makers, a way to help mid-level entrepreneurs define, achieve and celebrate key milestones for company growth. Through its expertise and prestigious business network, Nasdaq will work with a small group of entrepreneurs individually to define a critical business goal and accelerate the path to achieving it. Participants will be accompanied individually by mentors who are leaders in their sector, offer instant feedback and take a personal interest in helping them grow.
