The course provides these insights from a theoretical, scientific point of view. This course is suited for engineering students who expect to deal with entrepreneurship in their future careers. This could be, for example, as a technology entrepreneur, an engineer in a technology-based startup, an entrepreneurial employee in a large technology-driven company, a consultant, an investor, a policy maker, or a researcher. The following topics are dealt with: the entrepreneur, the business opportunity, opportunity evaluation, business models, the role of stakeholders and networks, business growth, financial attractiveness and viability, and financing high-tech startups.
