What is icons?
A place for students who want more
icons is a management consultancy and Junior Enterprise run exclusively by students. We offer a high-quality consulting portfolio and are also a place where students grow beyond themselves – through real projects, a strong team and a unique network.
Our mission is to look beyond the theoretical horizons of academia and put academic knowledge into practice during our time at university, realise our own ideas and learn new things as a team. We work on consulting projects with integrity and passion, delivering genuine value and a clear view of the future.
