Master’s in Energy for Smart Cities introduces a redesigned Innovation & Entrepreneurship Journey with UnternehmerTUM
EIT Master School Master school practices what they preach – the innovation principle of continuous improvement. There’s always a next step, a new direction, and a way to make something great even better. In this spirit, Master’s in Energy for Smart Cities students joining the programme in 2023 will find exciting, newly designed modules added to the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Journey, a parallel track followed during their master’s programme. This highly successful and powerful MBA-level training includes courses and activities that take students to select European innovation hotspots – and provides them with crucial tools and skills to prepare (and inspire!) them to bring their ideas to the energy sector. And now, with UnternehmerTUM (UTUM) as a new partner, this experience is going beyond the next level!
Face-to-face with innovation
The students take a tailor-made journey during a face-to-face Winter School in a European city and a face-to-face Summer School in Munich, with an online spring seminar in between.
Alberto Gonzalez, Innovation & Entrepreneurship Education Manager, shares: “These new modules and partnership with UTUM bring students face-to-face with innovation. Guided by experienced Business Design coaches, they will learn to systematically identify entrepreneurial opportunities, design and validate technology-based business models, and test new products and services with the help of prototyping. It’s such a creative environment and a great jumping point – so that they can go on to use their new skills, knowledge, and network to advance as founders of startups or intrapreneurs in leadership roles.”
