Green entrepreneurship

Education facts

Code: EMAD31

In this course, students discuss and develop business plans for new innovations with the forest as a resource. The course enables students from different technology and science backgrounds to collaborate in the development of a business plan from a bioeconomic perspective. Students use a model to develop the business plan. One example of a model is Canvas, where the process is described in several steps: customer segment, value proposition, customer relations, distribution, key partners, key resources, costs, and revenue. One of the course components is the participation of regional start-ups in the bioeconomic sector in connection with guest lectures and company visits. The course is based on teaching sessions where students are active and responsible for their own learning.
