| The summer course is part of a joint excellent Entrepreneurship program between the three partners Copenhagen Business School (CBS), The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and University of Copenhagen (UCPH). The course will be taught as a mixture of lectures on entrepreneurship and group work on defined case stories chosen by the students at the beginning of the course. Each project group will be predefined with students from CBS, DTU and UCPH to ensure competences within business, engineering and science, and thereby utilize knowledge from this diverse group of students. The product of the group is a report including a business plan based on the chosen idea. Students will be introduced to the basic concepts of entrepreneurship, innovation and business development with emphasis on the distinctive features of the food industry, market shares and possible use of food technologies.
