| Skills to be acquired in this module |
The main target of the "Eco-Venturing" module is to develop entrepreneurial skills for the development and implementation of environmental innovations and sustainable business ideas. These include:
• the ability to identify new solution needs in the context of sustainable development and the sustainable development goals set by the United Nations,
• Knowledge and skills for the entrepreneurial development and implementation of innovative solutions,
• Knowledge and skills for systematically combining economic (Eco-nomical) and ecological (Eco-logical) objectives and
• the ability to strategically develop "green" business areas and markets.
• The entrepreneurial development and implementation of environmental innovations can relate both to the establishment of new companies and organisations and to the development of new solutions and business ideas within the framework of established companies and organisations (corporate venturing). |
