Business shouldn't
start at university.

Most students first meet business from the outside - through a textbook, a headline or a case study. FinMinds gives high-school students a chance to see how decisions are actually made before university and before their first job.

Why FinMinds exists

FinMinds is built around applied business education for high-school students. Across two days, participants get closer to the people, industries and decisions behind real business.

The aim is not to reproduce a classroom with better speakers. It is to give students earlier access to the questions, decisions and environments they will otherwise encounter years later. The exact 2026 interactive format will be announced separately.
