Overview
Entrepreneurship and innovation explore the dynamic processes of creating and implementing ideas that drive change and add value to society. At Lisburn University, we delve into the strategies and challenges of building businesses, launching startups, and fostering innovation across industries such as technology, healthcare, education, and sustainability.
One day in class, your professor might present a case study of a successful startup or a disruptive innovation. You and your classmates analyze, critique, and discuss it from various perspectives, such as the business model, the scalability of the idea, the challenges faced, and the impact on the market and society. Then, you brainstorm your own entrepreneurial ideas and develop strategies to bring them to life.
