Two weeks ago, we were invited to the winter school for PhD students in Koodtech. 🚀👏

Through a hackathon-style event, the students learned a great deal about translating their academic research into real-life ventures. Whilst they were there to hack their ideas away, we had a chance to hold a chat with Xann Schwinn who shared her experience of being a female entrepreneur in Cambridge. What an hour full of energy and inspiration! Our experience was amplified by thoughtful guidance from Liis Narusk and behind-the-scenes organisation by Health Founders Estonia, University of Tartu, UniTartu Ventures, kood/Võru and Estonian Doctoral School.

It is always such a pleasure to see our local ecosystem so energised and ready to thrive! 💫
