1. What is International Entrepreneurship?
International Entrepreneurship offers the possibility to establish a start-up in an international framework. Students, researchers or employees interested in starting their own business are given access to critical economic and technical know-how to develop their business idea or to define a business model for ongoing research. The TechKnowlodgy Entrepreneurship Hub offers various online and in-person events (i.a., lectures, workshops, network events, expert talks). The program includes participation in an international Entrepreneurship Summer School (online, September), an online incubation process (December to May), and the International Hightech Entrepreneurship Start-up Camp in Germany (June).
During this process, participants learn the basics of starting a business as well as essential skills (Summer School) and then deepen them through expert workshops, mentoring, and coaching (online incubation). Finally, there is the opportunity to participate in the start-up camp in Germany in order to establish contacts with stakeholders on-site and to advance the legal establishment of the start-up. The program elements are explained in the following.
