The course Sustainable Innovation & Entrepreneurship addresses corporate innovation and entrepreneurship in response to evolving geopolitical, economic, environmental, technological, and societal realities, emphasizing the necessity for sustainable management approaches. The course aims to equip you with a deep understanding of increasingly multi-faceted global success factors and threats for corporate innovation strategies in an ever-changing environment.

The program focuses on two critical influencing success factors:

Integrating new disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Quantum Technology, and Robotics in daily business.

Develop innovation strategies based on sustainability concepts.

Both factors have shown their extensive potential to enhance the prospect of success of corporate innovation practices. Moreover, Sustainable Innovation & Entrepreneurship delves into the composition of effective entrepreneurial teams, focusing on talent identification and cultivating a working culture conducive to transforming promising ideas into business success. In a “Sustainable Innovation Project,” you will have the chance to work on a real innovation challenge. You will be supported by a professional innovation coach for several weeks and get feedback on your results from an expert jury.

5 ECTS credits possible: The certificate program is eligible as an elective for our Executive MBA students if you do both the module and the project work with coaching session.
