The courses cover topics such as innovation, the entrepreneurial mindset, development, feasibility, adoption, and creating market impact through practical application.

The event underscored the Graziadio School's commitment to nurturing entrepreneurial talent and creating a robust network of innovative professionals ready to make a significant impact in the business world.
