A heartfelt thank you to the GDST team for organising the programme and to the staff who supported us during the visit.

“It was truly inspiring to hear the experiences and stories of several highly successful women.”

The GDST launch day was incredibly engaging, and we’re excited to begin developing our sustainable business idea.”

“The workshops that we had today really helped me to get a taster in the world of business. We did three workshops, which aimed to develop our entrepreneurial skills, and to show us what the GDST programme is about. I enjoyed learning about leadership and teamwork, and overall, I had an amazing time and can’t wait to get started on the programme.” Lucia A
