Technology Based Entrepreneurship
This minor prepares you for entrepreneurship in its broadest sense. Entrepreneurship is understood here as acting entrepreneurially, setting up a new business within existing organisations, and starting your own company.
The Technology-Based Entrepreneurship minor offers a basis for students who would like to complement their technical knowledge and skills with entrepreneurial knowledge and skills to create and seize new opportunities in the market. The minor is offered by the Delft Centre for Entrepreneurship (DCE) and lecturers from the faculties of Technology, Policy and Management and Industrial Design. Through a critical case study, the knowledge and skills are applied in a project that brings together an idea, a market and a technology into a viable startup.
What you will learn
After completing the minor, you will be able to analyse markets and estimate technological developments, make analyses of startup organisations and recognise (technical) opportunities in the market on this basis. This knowledge, combined with your knowledge from your technical discipline, makes you an attractive candidate to pull radical innovation projects at existing organisations or to start your own company.
For whom
This minor is open to 3rd-year bachelor students from TU Delft, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Leiden University. Students from other Dutch universities may also join the minor. More information about registering as an (external) student for this minor can be found here.
