SARAJEVO, December 11 (FENA) - NATO Admiral James Foggo, during his short stay in BiH, used the opportunity to learn firsthand about the concept of an entrepreneurial university as the only one in BiH and the region.
International Burch University hosted a NATO delegation today, led by Admiral James G. Foggo III, Commander of Allied Joint Force Command of NATO in Naples.
During his short stay in BiH, Admiral used the opportunity to learn firsthand about the concept of an entrepreneurial university as the only one in BiH and the region.
"When I heard about Burch University, I wanted to come and see myself how you work, because this type of education is the key to BiH's development, and I am happy to be here," Admiral said.
Burch University is the only university with an entrepreneurial approach where students learn how to think entrepreneurially, innovatively and critically. The entrepreneurial university also includes the cooperation of educational institutions with state and private institutions with the aim of developing the BiH economy.
Through discussions with staff and students, Admiral has learned that educational institutions can help the state and society prepare young people, after graduation, to take destiny into their own hands, start and realize their ideas, enter the entrepreneurial world or be the innovators and initiators of changes in the companies they work for.
Admiral was also given the opportunity to meet Burch students who turned their ideas into startup projects and companies and work on, among other things, developing applications for the treatment of depression and mental illness, finding a cure for tuberculosis, developing software to improve employee productivity, and SOS bracelets to prevent violence and other innovative projects.
“I am delighted with the ideas that solve the world's problems since BiH is in the process of reforms and transition. It is crucial to contribute to the education system that will allow young people to stay in BiH after graduation and to realize the knowledge, skills, and ideas they acquired in BiH. This approach will help transform society in general, and you are a good example of that,” Admiral concluded.
