Econverse V4 – our Scholars’ Startup Competition in Prague!

On November 1-2, the first international edition of Econverse took place in Prague, organized by Rafał Brzoska Foundation scholars, Jan Bartkowiak and Szymon Jackowski, who together create an innovative project supporting young entrepreneurs from the Visegrad Group countries. Econverse V4 is a startup competition aimed at supporting youth from the Central and Eastern European region, offering participants a platform to work on innovative ideas.

The Prague event attracted the most talented young people from the region, who, under the guidance of mentors, spent an intensive 48 hours developing business models and creating pitch decks, culminating in presentations before a jury of investors and experts. Econverse is not only about challenges and learning – it is also an opportunity to network and acquire the skills needed to run startups in the global economy.

The goal of Econverse is to develop key competencies such as creative thinking, problem-solving, and understanding business processes – areas often overlooked in traditional education systems.

Econverse V4 is the first international project of the Econverse Foundation, which aims to raise the level of entrepreneurial education in Central and Eastern European countries. Upcoming events are planned for Bratislava, Budapest, and Warsaw, further strengthening regional integration and the potential of young talents.

Congratulations to our Scholars and best wishes for future endeavors!
