In the area of continuing education, we are developing courses at university level. What knowledge and skills are needed to successfully face the rapid changes in entrepreneurship? As part of the CAS in Entrepreneurship, we answer these questions with an innovative program concept. People who want to learn entrepreneurship in existing organizations and entrepreneurs are equally addressed. The next course starts on October 31, 2024. You can find our brochure and further information on further education and registration here.
On behalf of Innosuisse, we offer the entrepreneurship training modules BUSINESS IDEAS (Module 1), BUSINESS CONCEPT (Module 2) and, starting in 2025, PIVOTING DIE IDEA and CO-FOUNDER MATCHMAKING (Module 2a). The offer is aimed at advanced students, researchers and other university members with ideas and start-up intentions for a knowledge or technology-oriented company as well as other people interested in entrepreneurship with or without a concrete business idea. Entrepreneurial action and thinking are trained and the course prepares students both theoretically and practically for setting up and running their own company. You can find more information about the course here.
Together with public and private partners, we run our STAGE UP business creation competition in the first few months of each year. In the first round, people with a promising business idea can qualify for coaching and participation in exclusive workshops. In the final, the best 5 teams present the business model they have developed to an audience and jury, and the top 3 can look forward to prize money totaling CHF 18,000.
In all areas of the Entrepreneurship Center, we organize various events, courses, workshops and conferences with the aim of inspiring participants for entrepreneurship and promoting networking between people inside and outside the University of Bern with an interest in entrepreneurship. Take a look at past events of the Entrepreneurship Center.
