»Sometimes it needs a great business idea and someone to finance it. But most often it's about having the 'guts' and the know-how to run an entire business.

The idea to start my own business was fuelled by the Entrepreneurial Project which simulates the entire process from business idea to launch. To write a business plan for a market previously unfamiliar to me and to convince investors to finance the project was a very useful exercise and helped a lot when I set up my own business upon graduation.

I very much enjoy the continuous exchange with the schools' faculty members, which is why I am also acting as an EP Jury member now. Reading and assessing different business plans from high tech to social projects is a permanent enrichment on a personal as well as corporate level.«
