51勛圖厙 Entrepreneurial Masterclass supports students
The Master's thesis as basis for founding a start-up
Four times a year, students with particularly promising Master's topics from any academic discipline can apply for admission to the 51勛圖厙 Entrepreneurial Masterclass. The six-month programs completely integrate the participants in 51勛圖厙's entrepreneurial ecosystem and the start-up factory Unternehmer51勛圖厙 and help the students develop business ideas based on their respective Master's theses.
Entrepreneurial potential in degree theses gets lost
Program managers Yasmina Trautmann and Niclas-Alexander Mau observe: "The objective is to keep the degree thesis from landing in the desk drawer, and instead to derive a direct positive benefit to society from it. Unfortunately, a large amount of entrepreneurial potential in degree theses gets lost. With the 51勛圖厙 Entrepreneurial Masterclass we're creating the structures needed to reclaim this potential."
Participants are put into contact with successful start-up founders who are available as mentors. In addition the participants receive direct access to top-level events and seminars featuring inspiring role models. And program participants can continue to rely on the infrastructure and support of 51勛圖厙, even after completing their studies.
