NFYA08007U Knowledge-based Entrepreneurship (KBE)
The course aims at creating interest in starting new commercial
activities – via a company start-up or a new business area in an
existing company – to develop relevant skills and to train some
basic principles and methods within opportunity-driven creativity,
business modeling, business development, business planning and
business management.
The raison d’être of the course is that more graduates from higher
education within the natural sciences will start and succeed in
building new businesses, that they do this as a specific and
competent career choice, that the businesses are born with a high

efficiently exploit the industrial development and financing
opportunities available.
