BOLD Regional Workshops
Join the BOLD workshops to learn more about entrepreneurship, meet future leaders from the region, and equip yourself with innovative skillsets.
Why the BOLD Regional Workshop:
Practical Education
Through a hands-on approach and dynamic sessions, you will learn how to build, test, and pitch ideas on the spot. You will be thinking outside of the box while gaining practical know-how that you can apply to any future professional opportunity.
Inspire
We work with top-notch facilitators and industry experts in the region and the U.S. to bring you to your future community and meet like-minded peers. Be open-minded and ready to thrive personally and professionally.
Network
We aim to create a supportive environment of link-minded youth coming from across the Western Balkans that are eager to learn more about entrepreneurship and expand their regional community.
Method
We don’t lecture but rather provide you with the tools and resources so you and your peers can be the leaders that can take on real challenges and turn them into ideas and skillsets. Practical entrepreneurship is not a unique trait for startup founders alone, it’s a way of life that can be applied in any industry or profession.
The BOLD RW is a great opportunity to meet people from the region. We think we know each other, we are so close to one another yet so far when it comes to sharing experiences together. In sharing our experiences and similarities, this has been a great opportunity for me both personally and professionally.

I truly believe that entrepreneurship is a bridge builder. Building that community of problem-solvers and extending that community to the region will have a long-lasting impact. Planting the seed now is very important.
