Based on the successful model of the previous entrepreneurship DVC program coordinated with IIP Bureau, Embassy Lisbon intends to develop and schedule a DVC series of U.S. speakers with expertise in entrepreneurship and innovation who will share their knowledge, experience and best practices.The target audience will include students, entrepreneurs, researchers and members of the business community.

November 2012 - Venture Capitalism
December 2012 - Entrepreneurship in arts/education
March 2013 - University Spin-offs
April 2013 - Startup exit strategy
May 2013 - From entrepreneur to… investor 

DVC sessions will be held at the Embassy, and we estimate an average of 50-100 participants per session (including remote participation). NOVA/Embassy will award certificates to students who attended at least 80% of the sessions.
