Content

Through the international business plan module, students can turn an innovative (Entrepreneurship) and international business idea into a viable business plan, based on sound primary and secondary research and analysis. The cornerstone of such a viable business plan is rooted in sustainability (Link to SDG 12: Responsible Production & Consumption) and international orientation (Global mindset). Students will be guided by coaches and experts, and after the defence assessment, best groups will present their projects to company representatives in a form of a dragon's den to simulate business conditions more realistically.
