On Thursday, March 1, 2018, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management had invited students, alumni and guests with an interest in entrepreneurship to join startups and accelerators for the second Startup Night. The mix of panel discussion, career fair and networking event provided ample opportunity to learn more about new ways of funding for entrepreneurs as well as internships and job entry positions with the participating startups. Dr Heike Brost, Vice President and Director Executive Education & Degree Programmes at Frankfurt School, welcomed the guests and was especially happy to see the many alumni, who had returned to their alma mater, to recruit new interns and employees.
