What I have learned:
Running a student company and establishing my own limited company (AS) has provided me with invaluable experience. Through the student company, we learned how a team can develop an idea from the concept stage to a finished prototype of a sustainable product. The entire process was grounded in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the principles of the triple bottom line. We also gained deep insight into key aspects such as business ideas, vision and goal setting, risk management, market analysis, target audiences, financial management, progress planning, and business models. These are experiences that will stay with me for life. By creating our own limited company, I also gained practical knowledge of business operations, and I learned especially a lot about accounting, as I was responsible for that part of the business.
