The Summer Entrepreneurs program is there to offer the sons/daughters of employees the
theoretical and practical tools needed to create a viable preliminary project or idea that will
ultimately be productive and/or have a social impact.
The aim is to give them tools that will allow them to generate creative solutions to daily problems,
just like the projects they are looking to undertake.
