Overview
For organizations in all forms and sizes, including start-ups, SME, multinationals, NPO, and NGO, innovation has become the number one competitive factor. However, innovation does not happen out of the blue. It is driven by individuals who spot innovation opportunities earlier than others, recognize the big picture, and develop the opportunity with passion and the right tools. You can drive that change with strategies, methods, insights, practical skills, cases, and the right network – all of which the Executive MBA Entrepreneurship & Innovation provides.
Hands-on approach
Theory and practice need to go hand in hand; our carefully selected academic lecturers from technical universities such as RWTH Aachen University or École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, and other top universities therefore accompany expert practitioners in the classroom.In every module, start-ups, VCs, top managers or other experts from the entrepreneurship ecosystem provide best practices, example cases, and feedback. We also sharpen the participants' entrepreneurial skills such as pitching, storytelling, and negotiating.
