Nova SBE Haddad Entrepreneurship 4th Anniversary
Join us as we celebrate the 4th anniversary of the Haddad Entrepreneurship Institute. This anniversary marks more than a milestone, it signals the beginning of a new cycle, with a renewed ambition in how we support founders and contribute to the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This year, we bring that ambition into focus through a critical topic for Europe’s future: how to move from creating startups to truly scaling them.
Bringing together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders, this will be a moment to celebrate what has been built, and to engage in the conversations that will shape what comes next.
With confirmed speakers including:
Francois Mazoudier – Tech entrepreneur, investor & advisor
Ikhlaq Sidhu – Dean, School of Science and Technology at IE University
Luisa Cruz – Co-Founder & CTO at MicroHarvest GmbH
João Nuno Simões – Investor & Chief Growth Officer at Liquid Labs
Rui Carvalho - Co-founder and COO Coverflex
