I was part of the team that revised the High-Tech Business Venturing course to convert it into a unique Technology Entrepreneurship for the engineering master students. In this reconceptualization effort, we proposed to get students to work with leading researchers at the SDU Mads Clausen Institute and accelerate the commercialization of promising science-based ideas.

This course has further evolved while at Stuttgart and it is now a cornerstone course in our program.

This course is based or has contributed to the following research projects:
