To ensure you understand how business development and commercialization work in the real world, it helps to learn from practitioners — what we sometimes call a “pracademic” approach.

Our New Ventures School was established with this idea in mind. The program consists of free evening lectures and training modules for entrepreneurs taught by experts including KAUST staff, adjunct faculty, international practitioners and representatives from leading Saudi-based organizations.

The lecture on “How to Pitch to VCs” takes place at KAUST Innovation’s Entrepreneurship Center in Building 23, 2nd floor, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on February 8, 2016.
