Mål
The main objective is to lead the participating students through a business development process, involving everything from the development of the idea to the final business plan. The underlying objectives are:
• Development of ideas
• Sorting of ideas
• Creation of a business plan for new ventures or established businesses
• Evaluation of the business plan to decide whether a business can be established, taking into account marketing, economic and organisational issues
Kursinnehåll
People with real life experience gained from entrepreneurial work and business development will give some of the scheduled lectures during the course.
Students shall form groups by four to develop their ideas into business plans.
Ideas and plans will be discussed at seminars attended by co-students and a
‘coach’. The objective of the seminars is to provide students with a forum to discuss their ideas with other students who study different disciplines and who bring to the seminar a variety of skills and business ideas. Toward the end of the seminar series the main objective changes to producing a business plan and to discussing the possibility of successfully launching the different business ideas.

products and services. Start by looking in your own backyard; lots of interesting research is going on at The Royal Institute of Technology,
Stockholm School of Economic, University College of Arts Crafts and Design and Karolinska Institute.
The two best business plans presented during the course will have the opportunity to participate in the competitions “European Business Plan of the Year” organised by London Business School and INSEAD and “Venture Challenge” organised by San Diego State University. Both events are frequented by Venture Capital businesses that are interested in supporting promising young entrepreneurs. Previous participants at this event from the SSES are today managing successful enterprises.
Students will also have the opportunity to participate in Venture Cup East, a business plan competition organised jointly by McKinsey & Company and many regional colleges and universities.
Structure
There will be 2 weekly sessions lasting 2 hours each for 7 weeks. In addition to this business plan teams will meet several times to be coached in smaller groups by an expert. Each session will involve a mix of teaching methods, see below. Presentation to a panel of the completed business plan will take place in an additional week.
Teaching methods
The course will involve lectures and regular seminars with academics as well as practitioners. Subsequently, each student team will be mentored through the actual creation of the business plan by an individually assigned coach.
Förkunskaper
Students must have a minimum of 80 university points, especially in the areas of technology, economics, medicine or biomedicine. Experience with
administration/management from a practical or theoretical perspective may be valuable, but is not required.
