WHY
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
IN EDUCATION?
The tools of entrepreneurship play a critical role in solving the grand challenges that we face as individuals, in organizations and society. To prepare graduates to become the leaders of tomorrow’s businesses, students must be exposed to a range of tools, mindsets, and theories to build their entrepreneurial, innovative and leadership competencies.
Whether the topic is focused on new venture creation or exposing students to entrepreneurial tools for internal problem solving, the integration of entrepreneurship in university education creates well-rounded graduates. The role of entrepreneurship education is to teach about, for, and through entrepreneurship.
The ability to bring something new to the table, in the form of the entrepreneurial element, in a way that is sustainable, scalable, and systemic, requires development of certain capabilities within a supportive educational environment. These capabilities become transformational for the individual, the organization, the systems we work within, and potentially society.
HOW CAN CSE HELP?
Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship (CSE) brings together and strengthens the quality of entrepreneurship teaching and education at CBS.
Today entrepreneurship education shows up across all areas of the CBS course catalogue, and for the last decade has been established as an essential part of the CBS academic identity. Under the Nordic 9 vision, all CBS graduates are to develop entrepreneurial knowledge to help resolve the great challenges faced by society.
CONNECTING
EDUCATORS
WITH PRACTICE

As a centre for entrepreneurship, CSE is your platform for connecting with entrepreneurial practice by way of empirically grounded teaching cases, action learning methods, stimulating dialogues with Nordic and global ecosystem partners, insights into extending research into action, curricular enhancements and more. Together we are strengthening entrepreneurship teaching and education at CBS.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
01 Entrepreneurship can bring your research to life
Your research can make an impact on society. One of the ways to achieve this faster can be by spinning out a company based on your research.
02 There are cultural differences between academia and entrepreneurship
If you decide to start your entrepreneurial journey, you need to be aware of the different life cycles and that it takes a different mindset to working as a researcher, but there is help to get and it is definitely doable.
03 Validate your idea
You need to validate your idea and find your market – and the way to do this is to go out and talk to potential customers.
And the best piece of news is that you can learn it all during our “From Research to Market” workshop package at CSE!
