The official launch of the programme started with the signing of a complementary agreement between Varna Free University and the InterCulture Foundation.
In the 30-year history of the university, I have signed more than a hundred agreements, but I have never been more excited, with higher expectations and more gratitude to our partners for what we have been able to achieve together, said the President of VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar"Prof. Anna Nedyalkova, D.Sc. I hope you realize what a great chance we have with this programme – both the university and you. Today, you have in front of you exclusive personalities such as Larry Biehl, who has dedicate himself to the mission of creating a generation of future entrepreneurs, a person who has the extraordinary charge of an entrepreneur, financial and investment manager. Thank you, Larry, for what you are doing for us, for the future of young people and Bulgaria, Prof. Nedyalkova said. She pointed out that the moments when in front of the students is person such as Norman Winarsky, whose name is related to the future of artificial intelligence and biotechnology, is remembered for a lifetime. I cannot help noticing the presence of another real star, part of our training team, Jamie Williams, who has proven both on the field and in business, that when a person has high goals when he tries to have "accurate hits", he can realizes them everywhere.
Today, I would like to introduce also 31 US sponsors who have decided to support you in the difficult road ahead. You still do not know them, these are the people who have donated funds for your scholarships and you will have the opportunity to meet them. They will keep track of your development and your results, they will help you and motivate you, explained Larry Biehl to the students. In the selection process, more than 100 candidates have gone through a precise selection and interview to prove their interests and experience in the field of entrepreneurship and become part of the one-of-a-kind master programme in Bulgaria.
31 are the selected scholarship holders in the master programme in Entrepreneurship who received their certificates for scholarships and their student booklets.
I think Varna Free University will have the opportunity to create many wonderful entrepreneurs, Norman Winarsky told the attendants. He commented that he was impressed by the students and the young entrepreneurs in Bulgaria, full of excitement and enthusiasm. My experience in technology and artificial intelligence allows me to assure you that there will be great opportunities for entrepreneurs in the next few years and that this is your opportunity, I would even say responsibility, to create a better future for Bulgaria and for the world, Norman Winarski said.
I am very excited to be back in Bulgaria, said Jamie Williams. I am excited to meet with the students I will teach in the next few days. I will present you with a number of challenges, challenges related to you as people, because today's business is based on people, and if you do not know yourself, you are machines, not people. I promise you, it will be fun, said Dr Williams and ended up with a funny attempt to pronounce in Bulgarian the names of part of the students in the hall. During the first semester of their studies, the students will pass 6 courses covering topics such as entrepreneurial ideas, team, communication skills, process management, funding, etc. The second semester consists of 7 courses, most of which cover different spheres of entrepreneurship - social businesses, innovation and identity creation of the company and the brand behind it.
