Rzeszów brought together future entrepreneurs, educators, and local business ecosystem experts for the BusinessUP! Green Actions seminar — an inspiring event focused on innovation, sustainability, and the art of pitching ideas.
The seminar aimed to foster entrepreneurial thinking among students, while encouraging them to incorporate eco-conscious solutions into their business ideas. The event attracted wide participation from young innovators, who pitched creative and socially relevant concepts — from flexible, eco-friendly packaging to a second-hand ski equipment platform, and even a vending machine for natural cosmetics available 24/7.
🏆 Top Projects Awarded The jury awarded first place to a sustainable packaging concept. Second and third places went to the cosmetics vending machine and ski second-hand platform, while two other projects received special distinctions.
🎤 Learning to Pitch Beyond the competition, participants had the opportunity to attend two expert-led lectures on public speaking. These sessions covered both first impression techniques and practical tips for delivering persuasive pitches to potential investors.
🎥 Capturing the Moment A short video clip was also created to capture the energy and atmosphere of the day — showcasing the students' creativity, the engaging lectures, and the spirit of collaboration that defines the C4TALENT project.
Rzeszów’s event highlighted how the next generation is already shaping greener, smarter business ideas — and how local partnerships can nurture these ambitions through events that combine learning, inspiration, and action.
