What is SPRINT?

SPRINT is a platform to develop university students into complete individuals.

SPRINT organizes interactive development opportunities for university students. These opportunities include discussions with industry leaders, forums regarding relevant local and international topics, social projects as well as workshops aimed at developing profession soft skills.

SPRINT is the brain child of and run by Dr Alex Bignotti(PhD in Entrepreneurship), with the help of a committee of dedicated university students.
SPRINT was born due to the fact that a university education is no longer sufficient to be competitive in either a global context or the entrepreneurial sphere.
