Overordnede kursusmål
This course is an introduction to technology entrepreneurship. The aim of the course is to bring together students from different backgrounds, in order to develop commercialization strategies for technologies developed at DTU.

The course will introduce students to concepts, models and tools that can be used in order to: identify and evaluate market opportunities for a university technology; to develop a business case; and to effectively communicate (pitch) the business case to create interest and attract resources. The course will draw upon the fields of entrepreneurship, strategy, management and marketing. It will also provide a sustainability angle to spark the students’ interest towards the creation of SDG-oriented technology startups.

This course is relevant not only to the students who want to become entrepreneurs, but also to the ones who aspire to become the “engineers of the future” and work as innovators in established companies.

Bemærkninger
The deadline for leaving the course is end of week 1. All students, who do not wish to take the course, need to officially de-register.
The maximum number of students will depend on the number of technology cases provided by the teachers. This number will depend on the number of technologies offered by researchers at DTU, and their availability/commitment to provide support to students throughout the semester. Priority will be given to students from the MSc in Tech Entrepreneurship, the MSc in Sustainable Energy, and DTU Compute.
