Info session

Master the art of pitching - Turn bold ideas into action 

Have an idea you want to bring to life? 
Ready to spark innovation in your own venture or within an organisation? 

Pitching is a skill you can’t do without. It’s how you win support. Secure funding. Build momentum. And make change happen. 

At Vlerick, entrepreneurship isn’t a buzzword. It’s in our DNA. And we’d love you to experience it for yourself. 

Join our Masters Open Day and take part in an interactive entrepreneurship workshop with Prof. Dr Yannick Dillen. You’ll discover how we teach. How we challenge. And how we help you take the leap. 

Schedule

• 15:30–15:50: Discover the Vlerick approach, explore our Masters programmes and get clear on the application process. 
• 15:50–16:50: Step into the classroom with Professor Yannick Dillen and sharpen your pitching skills in a hands-on session.  
• 16:50–17:00: Connect with current Masters students. Ask your questions. Grow your network. 

Who is this for? 

  • Anyone looking to strengthen their pitching skills, as pitching is a core skill across careers not just for entrepreneurs. 
  • Students who want entrepreneurship at the heart of their Masters 

Do you want to build, test and launch ideas and not just study them? 

If you’re looking for a Masters where entrepreneurship is the core focus, this Open Day is for you. Discover how our Masters in Innovation & Entrepreneurship immerses you in real-world venture building from day one. 

Through our collaboration with Wintercircus, internships and the Start-up Accelerator, you’ll work with experienced entrepreneurs and investors, validate business ideas and refine your pitch. You’ll even present to accelerators such as imec.istart and Start it @KBC. This is entrepreneurship in action. 

Places are limited. 

Register now and experience entrepreneurship at Vlerick.
