LJ Silverman, Head of LSE Generate, commented: “As a programme that supports entrepreneurs across the world, winning an international prize means so much to us.
“The fact that this is a team prize is also significant; I am so proud of the collaborative environment that my team tries so very hard to model to our student innovators day-in, day-out and the way that they exemplify the transformative power of an entrepreneurial mindset, be that in our coworking space, at one our international hubs or in a virtual setting.
“Community is everything to us, and it is our belief that belonging to a supportive group of like-minded individuals increases the chance of start-up success and overall founder wellbeing.”
LSE Generate is the School’s entrepreneurship centre where budding entrepreneurs are equipped with the tools and knowledge to transform their ideas into real-world ventures.
The team’s multifaceted approach to entrepreneurship education, which encompasses experiential learning, industry partnerships, funding competitions and mentorship opportunities also nurtures an ecosystem that encourages creativity, risk-taking, and collaboration. It is fast-becoming a driving force in shaping the future of entrepreneurship education on a global scale.
