KurzbeschreibungMethodologies and tools presented throughout this course will serve to help young scientists and engineers gain the necessary skills and confidence to manage entrepreneurial risks and navigate the complexities of decision making within multiple stakeholder settings.
LernzielThis course is designed for ETHZ students who are interested in turning advanced research into highly innovative, socially or economically viable product or service, and financing it sustainably. To that end, these students need to work within the priorities of the society that funds their work, and their expectations must be aligned with the opportunities and constraints emanating from the economic, social and political environment. This demands bold thinking on technology development, and challenges students to effectively bridge the different cultures represented by the fields of science, engineering and economics.
InhaltThis course focuses on entrepreneurship from the filter of an investor.
The first part of the course is dedicated to an intensive study of theoretical foundations of economic analysis applied to entrepreneurship. The second part is dedicated to real world experiences in getting from idea to product, and how to finance it sustainably.
Teaching methodology will include class lectures, real world case studies, and small group interactive casework and exercises.

For select sessions, executives from industry will collaborate with course faculty, and share their extensive experiences. This will provide real world practical dimensions to the classroom learning process.
LiteraturA series of articles and case studies will be assigned first day of class
