IBS Business Solutions Lab is a new kind of networking event designed for students who are already building something of their own. Taking place on April 23 at 16:00 in room C011, this 60–90 minute session brings together currently enrolled IBS students who are actively involved in running a business whether it’s a personal venture or part of a family enterprise.
The idea behind the event is simple: create a space where experience meets curiosity. Instead of traditional networking, this is a more focused, structured environment where participants can share real challenges, exchange practical ideas, and learn directly from each other. Everyone in the room comes with hands-on experience, which makes the conversations more honest, relevant, and immediately useful.
During the session, students will have the chance to briefly introduce their business, highlight current challenges, and open the floor for input. The format encourages collaboration rather than competition participants are not just there to talk about what they do but to actively contribute to each other’s growth. Whether it’s marketing struggles, scaling questions, operational issues, or new ideas, the goal is to leave with fresh perspectives and actionable insights.
IBS Business Solutions Lab is also about building a community of student entrepreneurs within the university. It’s an opportunity to connect with like-minded people who understand the realities of running a business alongside studying. These connections can go beyond the event itself, potentially leading to future collaborations, partnerships, or simply a trusted network to rely on.
Overall, this event is for those who want more than just networking, it’s for students who are already in the game and are looking to grow, learn, and support others doing the same.
