Description: In this course, students will contribute to a concrete ‘technological business development project’, often emanating from the research labs of the university, and will ideally work in interdisciplinary groups of two to five students. The researchers of these labs are then involved in the coaching of the students. Students can submit their own business development projects. In the beginning of the first semester we will hold a matchmaking event between students and projects.
The work that students will perform depends on the project: opportunity studies, market- and competitive analysis, financial and costing analysis, writing parts of business plan etc. The exact scope of each project is defined in collaboration with the relevant research group and the educational team in the beginning of the first semester.
We implement a structured process to coach the students, including regular plenary sessions (interim sessions) where the different groups present their advances to their colleagues. By the end of the course, the students present a final report to the coaching group.
