The Athens Founder Institute and Industry Disruptors – Game Changers (ID-GC) are organizing the event Succeeding Through Failure on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 at 6:30 PM at INNOVATHENS, the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Hub of Technopolis, Municipality of Athens (100 Pireos, Athens).
It's an open secret that failure is one of every entrepreneur's biggest fears, but what if we realized that failure is ultimately a good thing?
Every failure can be a potential success and this will be the topic of discussion at the Succeeding Through Failure event, organized by the Athens Founder Institute and Industry Disruptors – Game Changers (ID-GC) in collaboration with INNOVATHENS. During the event, key questions that concern young and potential entrepreneurs will be discussed with the aim of overturning the taboo that wants failure to carry exclusively a negative and prohibitive connotation.
Come learn how to deal with, exploit, or even avoid a business failure, as well as how the Founder Institute, with recognized success rates worldwide, can help you significantly increase your chances of success, both yours as an entrepreneur and your idea's.
