Through the application of cutting-edge multimedia and distance learning, participants will be exposed to best-of-class lessons from entrepreneurs and thought leaders in Sweden, Singapore, Silicon Valley, and selected other entrepreneurial regions. Students will compare the lessons of Silicon Valley entrepreneurial leaders with those of entrepreneurs and leaders in their own regions, and develop a personal philosophy and code of conduct for themselves as the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders.
The course will be taught by faculty at KTH, Stanford, and NUS.
The main resources for facilitating the learning are our students, the teaching-team, and the entrepreneurial leaders that will participate during the course. For every session there is one topic to be covered. The topics will be announced prior to the session in order for the participants to collect and share essential information related to the topic.
