Purpose
The Student will be introduced to the entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a focus on how the Student can identify, create, and design innovation opportunities and develop them into viable start up concepts. The content of the module covers both entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial perspectives.

The module will link updated theoretical approaches to innovation, sustainability, design and business with application-oriented methods and tools from the initial stages of entrepreneurship.

In addition, the module includes a perspective on earlier applied methods and theory from Design, Business & Technology 1-5 in an entrepreneurial context. This will be conducted in a student-driven approach to knowledge gathering and knowledge sharing.

Furthermore, the module draws inspiration from guest lectures to give the Student an understanding of the real-life challenges and opportunities within the area of entrepreneurship.
