Objectives

The Case for the role HEIs play in supporting their regional entrepreneurial ecosystem, innovation and growth is well established – but studies show that HEI entrepreneurship education does not fully exploit its potential impact. The innovative resources of the Start-DSP project will enable HEI Entrepreneurship Educators to promote digital business models and technologies as well as sustainable, social and ethical business practices to increase their relevance and social and ecological impact.

Activities

Our methodology is based on a profound Competence Framework guiding the development of our integrated set of resources. At the core of the approach is our Innovative Business Model Assessment Web-APP, which analyses the growth, digitalisation and sustainability potentials and generates comprehensive personalised feedback. The tool can be used in theoretical entrepreneurship education or practical support but also by founders directly.

Impact

With the Start-DSP project, we pursue a holistic methodology to increase the relevance, excellence, and impact of entrepreneurship education at European HEIs. To reach our objectives, we will develop modular teaching materials, based on a profound competence framework, equipped with extensive background materials and published on an interactive knowledge hub. Our innovative assessment web app deepens the learning experience and also allows founders to analyse their real life business models.
