Entrepreneurship Course

During the summer school of 2022, the ESRs participated in an Entrepreneurship Course facilitated by the prestigious ESCP Business School. This course aimed to enhance their interdisciplinary learning strategies within the project, focusing on developing innovative business ideas in the field of space applications, considering the current state of the European Space Industry, ecological and economical requirements as well as the geopolitical challenges and opportunities.

One objective of the ITN is to provide the ESRs with transferable skills that go beyond a purely technical profile. Recognizing the evolving nature of the space industry, which is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and market-driven, this workshop addressed these challenges head-on.

During the Entrepreneurship Course, the ESRs engaged in intensive discussions and brainstorming sessions to generate potential business ideas. They explored various strategies to improve the European Space Industry, assuming the roles of decision-makers. By combining their technical expertise with a deep understanding of the market and geopolitical landscape, they aimed to devise effective improvement strategies.

The workshop fostered a collaborative and forward-thinking environment, encouraging the ESRs to think outside the box and propose innovative solutions. It emphasized the importance of bridging the gap between technical knowledge and entrepreneurial skills, equipping the ESRs with the ability to navigate the evolving space industry successfully.

By participating in this Entrepreneurship Course, the ESRs gained valuable insights into the intricacies of the space industry and developed a broader perspective that extends beyond their technical expertise. They now possess the necessary tools to embrace interdisciplinary approaches and contribute to the market-driven nature of the European Space Industry.
