SS2024 Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Development: Theory and Practice

Students who aspire to make a difference and tackle grand societal challenges are invited to the course. During this seminar, students are introduced to the theory and practice of entrepreneurship for sustainable development. We present the sustainable business model canvas as a tool for the students to explore their ideas and develop a sustainable business. We take a step-by-step approach by developing a sustainable and customer value proposition, describing key activities, resources, and partners, and identifying revenues and costs. At the end of the course, each student team will present their refined sustainable business model in the form of a pitch. Sustainable founders will also be invited to present their sustainable business models to inspire the students. This seminar is eligible for 7.5 credit points.
