Summer Camps for Girls and Young Women

The Summer Camp, taking place from July 7 to 10, 2025, at SQUARE, is organized in collaboration with wirtschaftsbildung.ch and the University of St. Gallen (HSG).

In an engaging and interactive way, participants will dive into the world of entrepreneurship, discovering what it takes to start and sustain a business in its early years. At the core of the program is the EcoStartup business simulation by wirtschaftsbildung.ch. Here, participants will develop a business plan using proven models and continuously refine their strategies. Sustainability is embedded throughout the entire value chain of the startups they create.

Beyond the simulation, the Summer Camp offers a rich and immersive program that provides young women with practical insights, opportunities to expand their networks, and the chance to learn from experienced HSG students and young female entrepreneurs. It is a space for connection, inspiration, and empowerment.

The Summer Camp fosters future-proof skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Participants will be encouraged to explore their passion for business, entrepreneurship, and leadership, equipping them with the confidence and tools to shape their futures.
