Entrepreneurship

We support companies’ growth and internationalization

Sudden and ongoing changes in the operating environment, such as sustainability challenges, digitalization, and shifting competence needs, require companies to continuously adapt and innovate. We support this transformation by providing and co-creating solutions that promote a sustainable and regenerative economy.

Through a variety of projects and tailored services, we assist companies in responding to emerging challenges and opportunities. Our activities include offering platforms for testing practical solutions, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and expertise, and connecting stakeholders through extensive local and international networks. Collaboration among higher education institutions, businesses, and other organizations is at the heart of our work.

Entrepreneurship as an alternative to employment

The world of work is rapidly evolving, with gig work, project-based employment, and entrepreneurial forms of work becoming increasingly common. As traditional career paths become less dominant, entrepreneurial competencies are becoming essential for all professionals. Beyond disciplinary expertise, individuals need the ability to identify opportunities, create value, commercialize their skills, and navigate dynamic labour markets. Strengthening entrepreneurial mindsets and capabilities enhances employability, resilience, and adaptability, enabling individuals to thrive in changing work environments and contribute to broader societal and economic development.
