W397 Entrepreneurship
In this seminar, students from Dresden's universities can develop their own (business) ideas in interdisciplinary teams, test their feasibility, and prepare them in a business model.
The seminar is conducted in a hybrid format. The most important aspects of a business model are taught through the provision of informative educational videos and other materials. In addition, workshops on idea generation and team building as well as on business topics (business sprints) are held.
The focus of the course is on creating and refining a business model for your own business idea with the active support of coaches with practical experience.
