Have you got an entrepreneurial scratch, but don’t know how or where to scratch? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Your best bet is to join our group of enthusiastic entrepreneurs. You won’t get the answer to all your needs, however you might just sow the seed.

If you want to get the most out of your experience with SSES and find the optimal opportunity that is right for you, then the Opportunity Brainstorming Workshop is an ideal place to start. In bringing together like-minded entrepreneurial individuals, the workshop aims to help those looking for an entrepreneurial outlet to develop an idea or find or a prospective business partner. You’ll get bombarded with ideas and suggestions, some crazy, some hilarious and hopefully, some to your liking. What’s more you will learn something about your fellow entrepreneurs, who may just become invaluable to see an idea through to completion.

On top of this you will discover how to leverage your means to the best effect and get a better understanding of entrepreneurship as a full contact team based sport.
