Master of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Today, we see the words "innovation" and "entrepreneurship" everywhere, whether in the communication of companies, public institutions or non-profit organizations. Indeed, there is a broad consensus on the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship in addressing economic and social challenges. Innovation and entrepreneurship are now perceived as the cornerstone of sustainable growth. But what is behind these widely used concepts, how and why should they be mastered?

Innovation is a creative process that starts with an idea, continues with the development of an invention and ends with the commercialization of new products, services, processes or practices. Entrepreneurs are those who carry out this process by starting their own business or by leading innovation projects within existing companies. A well-managed innovation process helps an organization to create more value for customers, build customer loyalty, increase profits and attract the best employees.

Therefore, public and private companies are actively looking for those entrepreneurs who have the appropriate skills to manage innovative projects.

UOWD's Master of Innovation and Entrepreneurship degree in Dubai will help you develop the most in-demand skill set to lead business innovation projects or start your own company.

We adopt a comprehensive approach to achieve this objective. You will then develop skills in various fields such as marketing, finance, leadership and management.

The students will have the opportunity to engage in incubators and accelerators, both regionally (such as through our collaboration with Dubai Future Foundation University Entrepreneurship Program and Dubai SME) and globally (such as through participation in International Bootcamps). These opportunities shall provide students valuable feedback and mentorship from innovators and entrepreneurs.
