Entrepreneurship and innovation, FHNW School of Business

Our expertise revolves around the following three areas:

Start-ups and spin-offs

We understand the needs of start-up and spin-off founders and their young companies thanks to intensive dialogue with them and numerous research projects.

Start-up & growth We support students and researchers on their way to starting their own businesses. In doing so, we specifically promote an entrepreneurial mindset and teach the necessary entrepreneurial skills. From the initial vision to market entry and scaling, we offer tailored support, in-depth coaching, and access to relevant networks to turn ideas into successful start-ups and spin-offs.

Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

We understand the dynamics of the entrepreneurial ecosystem through our active networking and continuous scientific investigation of its actors and structures.

Networking & Expertise We are deeply rooted in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and bridge the gap between science, business, and politics. Through our in-depth ecosystem research, we generate evidence-based knowledge that we pass on directly to ecosystem actors in the form of consulting and research services. We empower organizations and regions to strengthen their innovative power and jointly create sustainable conditions for entrepreneurship.

Corporate Entrepreneurship & Innovation

We transfer the latest findings from entrepreneurship research directly into business practice and support established companies in sustainably increasing their agility and innovative strength.

Innovation & Transformation We are the central point of contact for SMEs and large companies for all questions relating to innovation management and business model innovation. We support organizations in creating internal structures for new growth and firmly anchoring entrepreneurial action in their corporate culture. Through our methodological support and applied research, we ensure the future viability of companies in a constantly changing market environment.
