🔥🔥 ABOUT THE EVENT
“At first the commercial lingo and the idea of forming a business scared me. But as I dived into it, I discovered that entrepreneurship is a subject area as any other. I just have to master it – as I have done with so many other subjects as a researcher. When I realized that, some of the fear lifted – and I dived in head first,” says Mariam Abdi Noor.
The journey of Aorticphlex and founder Mariam Abdi Noor is the story of visionary research, a diverse funding journey which have not ended yet and an unexpected attraction to the freedom and variation the life as an entrepreneur can provide. It is also the story of a Postdoc venturing into the world of business – and to her own surprise – loving every moment of it. On Wednesday 22nd of November Mariam Abdi Noor will share her journey.
✅✅ WHAT TO EXPECT
- From Academica to business – Mariam Noor’s journey
