We spoke about waste, sustainability and entrepreneurship and most importantly, about the possibilities that emerge when we look at everyday challenges with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Organised by the ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ง๐ข ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ (๐๐๐), ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐, the session reflected the importance of creating meaningful platforms where students can engage with accomplished alumni and industry practitioners.

This is precisely what a university must enable: the courage to question, the imagination to innovate and the ability to turn real-world problems into real-world solutions. It was encouraging to see our students engage with such enthusiasm and curiosity. The future of sustainability will be shaped not only by awareness, but by ideas, innovation and action.
