Being a part of Glo will give you opportunities:

  • public speaking and project manage events,
  • foster leadership and communication abilities
  • build your skills for future employment ​

TESTIMONIALS

A student review from 2018

"Glo is actually a great opportunity for those thinking big, aiming high, following their passion and building success on their resilience which is starting up their own business and making a change locally, internationally and globally! This amazing program has given me chances of learning many new things and meeting all like-minded people such as entrepreneurs, industry professionals, start-ups, inspiring speakers…try something new, challenge myself and make a difference for the people, society and the globe as a whole!”
