Omschrijving	In the course we focus on types of entrepreneurship and the effects of entrepreneurship on regional growth but also on regional patterns of entrepreneurship and whether or not specific environments can be more beneficial for entrepreneurship or not. Hence we learn in what ways entrepreneurship is beneficial for regional development and the possibilities for policy makers to use entrepreneurship as a policy instrument. Furthermore, we will also pay attention to how entrepreneurs (and regions) can prepare for the transitions in energy, climate and digitalization in the new economy.
