The course follows the concept of active learning where students have to take an active role in all parts of the course. Groups of 5 students will develop their own business idea or choose one from a list of suggested challenges. Within the team they define and document their roles. In the first half of the course they pitch their business ideas and receive feedback form the teachers of the course. Together with the expert feedback, students will develop a draft of a business plan that the groups will present to a panel of experts at the end of the course.
