Workshops led by Steve Walker for students from the i-Lab community (October 16–17, 2025)

Between October 16–17, 2025, Steve Walker, founder of the San Francisco–based technology consulting company Cobaltix, held two workshops for students from the i-Lab community. With extensive experience in IT, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and leadership, Steve shared insights on how AI is transforming the business landscape and how sustainable models can be built through innovation and a genuine understanding of customer needs.

The first workshop, “AI Between Hype and Reality: How to Build Meaningful Business Models,” explored the impact of artificial intelligence on the economy, while the second, “Share Your Idea! and Reflect & Look Ahead,” focused on entrepreneurship and the differences between bootstrapping and attracting investment. The events gave participants the opportunity to learn directly from a global leader about strategy, adaptability, and innovation in business.
