Innovative Entrepreneurs

Join us for an inspiring lecture series featuring outstanding founders, managers and executives from a variety of industries. Our guest speakers will share their wealth of knowledge on various aspects of entrepreneurship and leadership, from identifying opportunities to managing innovation and growth. By gaining practical insights into the diversity of entrepreneurial life, personalities, skills and motivations, you will be equipped to think outside the box and develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

In our courses, we believe in active learning, and we want you to take the first step towards becoming an entrepreneurial leader - whether you will have found your own company or will be employed. The final exam is an individual project that challenges you to step out of your comfort zone and explore your potential. By developing your personality alongside your studies, you will be better equipped to positively influence others and make a meaningful impact on the world. As such, our course aims to equip you with the skills and mindset to tackle novel and complex challenges across a range of fields.
