[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] IDP, through the Business Community initiative, will hold the first edition of Startup Weekend IDP on the 17th, 18th and 19th of November. The event aims to encourage entrepreneurship, creativity and teamwork among the Institution's students, in addition to involving people from the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Federal District with the IDP itself and its students. 

“IDP’s Startup Weekend is a relevant starting point to help our students develop business ideas, allowing them to leave the event with the most concrete and structured ideas. The participation of external mentors and teachers means that, above all, it is a networking event and connections for our students with important people from the DF scene”, said IDP professor and coordinator Bruno Saboya. 

Startup Weekend IDP is a three-day event that brings together entrepreneurs, developers and experts in different areas to work on business creation projects. During the event, participants have the opportunity to turn their ideas into businesses, learn new skills and meet other entrepreneurs. Additionally, they have access to experienced mentors and guest speakers who share their knowledge and experiences. The goal of Startup Weekend is to accelerate the process of creating new businesses by providing a collaborative and highly focused environment to test and validate business ideas in a short period of time. The event is held regularly in several cities around the world and has been a success everywhere. 

To register for the 2023 Startup Weekend IDP, simply be an IDP student. No experience with Startups or having a business idea is necessary. Teams will be formed on the first day of the event, and the winning team will receive a prize of R$1,500.00. All participating students also receive a certificate for 25 additional hours. 

Registration closes until Friday, November 10th.
