“Chances are that most of us will get involved with a new business venture at some point in our careers. The opportunities that this can offer are extraordinary – from self-realisation to actually changing the world in some meaningful and tangible way. Failure to launch a new business venture can become a significant personal or professional setback. This programme gives you a roadmap to building the skills and insights and the mindset that lead to success.”
Henning Piezunka, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship.
