Words of Wisdom from the MD - Venture Lab International

Fantastic idea is one thing, converting this idea into a successful business requires a great deal more. A good business model, access to the right markets, adequate financing, the right contacts and the skills of the team determine success or failure for more than eighty per cent.

Venture Lab Thapar exists to help entrepreneurs to fine- tune their skills. The Venture Lab Business Development Program was set up especially for this purpose. This is a one-year program in which entrepreneurs are equipped with the right set of tools to achieve ambitions.

You receive training and will be coached, and experts are available to assist you in drawing up expansion plans. In addition, there will be a focus on personal development and teambuilding. Venture Lab develops your potential enabling you to prepare your business for national or international expansion.

We will monitor progress during the program. Business Panels will assess presentations and help the organization to continue to develop. Moreover, Venture Lab offers access to powerful regional, national and international business and knowledge networks and financial support. Are you looking for workspace? Venture Lab also offers flexible office facilities

It does not matter whether you are a student, staff member, have a start-up, a scale-up or have been an entrepreneur for a longer period of time. Venture Lab is available for entrepreneurs in the Punjab region with expansion plans. Venture Lab offers individual support to managing directors and business developers or at team level, to groups or departments within the organization.
