The Master of Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Today, we see the words “innovation” and “entrepreneurship” everywhere, whether in the communication of companies, public institutions or non-profit organizations. Indeed, there is a broad consensus on the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship in addressing economic and social challenges. Innovation and entrepreneurship are now perceived as the cornerstone of sustainable growth. But what is behind these widely used concepts, how and why should they be mastered?
Innovation is a creative process that starts with an idea, continues with the development of an invention and ends with the commercialization of new products, services, processes or practices. Entrepreneurs are those who carry out this process by starting their own business or by leading innovation projects within existing companies. A well-managed innovation process helps an organization to create more value for customers, build customer loyalty, increase profits and attract the best employees.
Therefore, public and private companies are actively looking for those entrepreneurs who have the appropriate skills to manage innovative projects.
