Course Aims | ||||||||
Entrepreneurial activities are a crucial engine that drives innovation and economic growth. This course intends to develop innovation mindsets and attitudes in chemistry students, and teach them the theoretical and practical knowledge in scientific and/or technological entrepreneurship. We aim to empower students to develop the mentality of technology entrepreneurship, as well as to introduce the key steps for founding new technology-based firms in the field of chemistry and related scientific and engineering disciplines. Knowledge in communication necessary in technical entrepreneurship, ranging from the format and language used in patents to storytelling skills in business meetings, will be introduced. This course focuses on the development of chemistry-related business ideas, and is taught at a relative early stage in the BSc programme, in order to introduce the entrepreneurial motivation to chemistry students when there is still time for them to collect data to substantiate their business ideas. | ||||||||
