The course provides introduction to entrepreneurship by looking at entrepreneurship at individual and team level. The core themes include entrepreneurship as a career opportunity; business idea and opportunity creation; and business planning. During the course the students assess their own entrepreneurial competences, and perform exercises on business idea generation in teams resulting in rapid pitching-exercises aiming to sell their ideas to the others. The students will familiarize themselves with entrepreneurial process: what it takes to map problems and turn them into interesting solutions with business potential. Furthermore, the students will also familiarize themselves with the (local) entrepreneurial ecosystem which provides various support for entrepreneurs.
The course is run in collaboration in BoostTurku/SparkUp and the university´s entrepreneurship agent(s) who provide assistance in finding relevant start-up support.
