The New Business Lab and the B-Cube Initiative

BSBA students benefit from the resources of B-Cube, a new Hellenic American University initiative to enhance students’ exposure to real-life business problems. B-Cube was originally developed in partnership with Envolve Entrepreneurship, an entrepreneurship support organization, founded by the Libra Group.

Since Fall 2021, B-Cube has been hosting a program of events such as design challenges, studio sessions, “how-to” business workshops led by expert practitioners, and inspirational talks by student innovators. The "how-to" events are open to the greater community associated with the university. Additionally, B-Cube also facilitates corporate visits in collaboration with the University's Entrepreneurship Club.

Testimonials

• I am really grateful for having the chance to receive my education at HAU, a truly American higher education institution. I got equipped with all the tools to be successful in my marketing career, not only through theoretical work, but also through success stories and real-life examples. I also developed critical thinking skills, got over my fear of public speaking, and learned how to write professionally. These are soft skills that are often overlooked at the start of your studies but trust me, they are the ones making the difference.
