Innovative Entrepreneurship 

Overview

Innovation and entrepreneurship always keep pace together in the context of any competitive environment in today's world. It is always a challenge for companies to invent new groundbreaking products, reshape their internal strategies and create value through different ways of thinking to become highly competitive in a certain market.

The Innovative Entrepreneurship program at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) enables graduates to obtain a real opportunity for starting up their business based on the ideas that they have developed during their bachelor's degree studies in engineering and other fields.

The focus of the program is to develop practical management skills relevant for starting up and the development of small innovative companies and commercialization of students' ideas. 

Students' project works are performed on the basis of the Russian-German Center for Entrepreneurship “Polytech Strascheg”. Students are offered an opportunity to study abroad at similar programs in Germany (Munich, Berlin).

Career Opportunities

With the knowledge and practical skills acquired by completion of the course, many graduates can work for large international companies in the innovation department, set up their own business with international focus, and continue to study for a PhD and become research experts.
