Take your future into your own hands!

❓ Are you wondering if entrepreneurship is your path, or have you always wanted to be an entrepreneur but are unsure how to go about it? Do you have some theoretical knowledge but miss some practical insights and ideas? We have the course for you!

🌟 Join our international 3-module online programme, “Entrepreneurial Mind in Action”!

🎓 Learn what it means to be an entrepreneur and how to start and grow a business from actual founders in the Ruhr in Germany, Varna in Bulgaria, and Slovenia.

Students, pupils, alumni, as well as other participants of the three entrepreneurship ecosystems, Ruhr in Germany, Varna in Bulgaria and Slovenia, get the opportunity to take part in the “Joint Classes”, which foster an entrepreneurial mindset in participants with the potential to become entrepreneurs in the near future. Private sector expertise, especially from the start-ups (and scale-ups) from all three regions, will be essential for the success of the joint classes. Entrepreneurs will contribute as guests and give talks, for example, regarding their ventures’ history, how to acquire funding in different stages of growth, and how to get from an idea to an opportunity on the market. Further, they will coach participants in developing solutions with the help of different tools and methods of fostering creativity and innovativeness.

Knowledge transfer will happen in an entirely online (virtual) learning environment hosted by DOBA Business School (BlackBoard Ultra). Participants will work in international, multicultural teams on challenges for the real-life sector (start-up ecosystem).
