To reach this goal, the course combines lecture formats with hands-on experiences.

Moreover, as part of the this course, you will form teams and try out your own business idea, living through the ups and downs that come along with building a team and bringing forth new business ideas. At the end of the course, you will pitch your achieved progress to an expert jury. The lectures will be held in German and contain guest speakers to impart entrepreneurial knowledge and experience.
