EdU Elevator Pitching Competition
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Education Unit (EIEU) of the Library will organise “EdU Elevator Pitching Competition” to provide EdUHK students with opportunities to enhance their pitching and presentation skills. Elevator Pitching is a common approach for start-up founders to present their vision, products and company precisely to potential investors within a time period as short as an elevator ride in 30 seconds to 1 minute. The skills are equally important to you, not only for pitching your ideas in classes, but also for your internship, graduate studies and future career. Grab this chance to equip yourself for a better future!
