Cancelled Knowledge-based Entrepreneurship (KBE)
Course content
The course aims at creating interest in starting new commercial
activities – via a company start-up or a new business area in an
existing company – to develop relevant skills and to train some
basic principles and methods within opportunity-driven creativity,
business modelling, business development, business planning and
business management.
The raison d’être of the course is that more graduates from higher
education within the natural sciences will start and succeed in
building new businesses, that they do this as a specific and
competent career choice, that the businesses are born with a high
level of ambition and core knowledge, and that the founders
efficiently exploit the industrial development and financing
opportunities available.

The course takes on a hands-on approach and brings in experts who cover the different aspects of business creation in practice. Our pedagogical approach is highly interactive: Through small and large groups we will work on ideas for generating business value. As much of our knowledge will be created in class, it is crucial that students come well prepared for discussion and willing to participate. Interactive class assignments with high practical relevance will provide students with the ability to apply their new learning in practice.
