Engaging Young People for Societal Change- Entrepreneurship education and training programs

Christian Vintergaard, PhD, CEO


The western world is challenged !!



Possession of knowledge is not a competitive

factor alone !!


The future belongs to those how

can innovate!!


Teach our students to be

innovative through

entrepreneurship !!…


Why study entrepreneurship?


Does entrepreneurship education matter?

Entrepreneurship education

300% more Entrepreneurs

27 % more Wages

Resources62 % more

…and because: - its fun!!- it is an other career path ! - reveals more value in other fields of study

( Charney & Libecap, 2000)

30-70% of net job creation

95% of radical innovations

Social change


The role of the university has significantly changed


Universities: Engines for regional growth

• Foundation for new venture creation in addition to their traditional role as research and teaching institutions

• New names for this kind of entrepreneurship– academic entrepreneurship (Powers et al., 2004)– faculty entrepreneurship (Chrisman et al., 1995).

• Spin off their research as new firms• Foundation of the entrepreneurial university -

> broad spectrum of entrepreneurship courses


Problems• Most universities lack resources and

competencies for entrepreneurship teaching– Organizational inertia (teaching job-taking)– Students do not see themselves as ent.

• Main competence of the university is still teaching and accumulating knowledge

• No comprehensive set of entrepreneurship courses (specialized courses)


A solutionIn regions with densely located universities,

collective educational efforts can have positive coordination effects– Satisfying the needs of a large volume of students

with diverse backgrounds– Enhance the supply of entrepreneurship courses– Each university can specialize

• Collaboration - swap : 1) students & 2) faculty• An organization that coordinates and

develops 1) skills among faculty and 2) need among students
