C4E Young Scholars - EIA Scholarship Recipients

2019

Longinos

Giorgos Longinos – C4E Young Scholar, EIA 2019 Participant
Postgraduate Student University of Edinburgh
Department of Computer Science graduate

Participating at EIA was a unique and amazing experience for me. At the academy, we created teams with people from different countries, with different specializations and backgrounds. This diversity enabled us to exchange ideas in an extremely productive way and review the issues from different perspectives. Our challenge was to develop our idea in only 3 weeks and to work on every aspect required for the success of our startup, from market research to financial analysis and product development. Of course, we always had the academy's world-class mentors on our side, helping us to overcome any obstacles. Thus, we had the opportunity to expand our knowledge in all areas related to innovation and entrepreneurship. Surely, the life-changing experience of EIA is an important supply for my upcoming postgraduate studies at the University of Edinburgh.
