Innovation and Entrepreneurship
TSE’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship module is based on long experience in entrepreneurship and innovation research, teaching and development. TSE is the leading European entrepreneurship research organization. We have about 20 professors and researchers working in the field of entrepreneurship, innovations being one of the main research themes.
The module gives students a comprehensive picture of current issues in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. Additionally, ICT and related industries are the areas of interest within the module. The various parts of the module are linked one to another and advance from general to more specific issues. The idea is to provide the student with the understanding and working tools to start-up and develop a business. Growth and internationalization issues are also central.
