Testimonials from Previous Recipients

I would recommend all young business owners who wish to gain a decade of business expertise in one year to apply for the Young Companies Scholarships. I had the chance to meet entrepreneurs at events that would have seemed inaccessible without the scholarship. AQT entrepreneurs are open, transparent, and ambitious. I recommend it to young entrepreneurs.

I want to express my gratitude for the Young Companies Scholarship program, which I benefited from last year. Thanks to the scholarship, I was able to make valuable connections that transformed my business into a real growth engine. The events I attended, such as Vision CEO and Big Bang AQT, opened doors to a world of knowledge and inspiring stories. The encounters with exceptional people greatly contributed to the rapid development of my company. Today, I am proud to be a member of AQT and strongly encourage you to apply for this scholarship.

Since joining AQT, our company has grown from 10 to 75 employees. The Young Companies Scholarship offered by AQT allowed us to invest in developing our business network and gain access to experienced leaders. At the time of this scholarship in 2018, our company had to make very informed choices, and the scholarship program made many services accessible to us that we would have likely missed out on.
