The course introduces entrepreneurship as an effective tool for implementing sustainable innovations. Students will be introduced to entrepreneurship and learn about impact as a guardrail for funding. Which stakeholders are important for entrepreneurs will be discussed and how impact can be presented and measured holistically. Students will also be taught how to develop sustainable business models, finance startups, and protect them in the long run.

Students do not need to bring a business idea. In fact, students will be sensitised toward an impact mindset, which will be helpful to them both in their private life and professionally.
