These online foundational courses enable participants to acquire the necessary skills to scale up a company, boost creativity, manage new product development processes, capitalize on social media for marketing purposes and clearly define business strategy in individual contexts. Successful completion of Part one and Part two leads to the Executive MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
