Next up will be an inspiring keynote speech by Tania Habimana and Desiree Brouwer, co-founders of Nonzēro Africa and alumni of RSM, Erasmus University, who will share their insights into innovation and entrepreneurship in the region.

After the keynote you will get together with your university in a break-out session followed by a plenary toast with everyone in the meeting and another round of virtual networking.
