The emphasis is on refining and developing skills in a multidisciplinary framework.  You'll learn to work in multidisciplinary teams to find solutions to entrepreneurial challenges.

You'll gain skills in communicating concepts and building connections, researching the market and preparing a business plan, identifying new markets, building a website to promote your work, testing your viability through exhibitions and pop-up shops and applying for funding.
