You must be prepared to understand that embarking on an entrepreneurial journey entails collaborating and working alongside others. You cannot build a business alone, and no one expects you to have the entrepreneurial idea, partners, or an established network in place right away. 

The AAU Startup Program assists you in starting off on the right foot by establishing the foundation necessary for your entrepreneurial idea.

All disciplinary expertises are suitable for entrepreneurship, and regardless of your academic background, an entrepreneurial mindset not only benefits your entrepreneurial dreams but also enhances your appeal in the job market.

Being entrepreneurial involves being:

• Creative
• Proactive
• Innovative
• Opportunity-driven

Students report that they have successfully employed these principles effectively in semester projects and theses, using them to reconsider analysis and methodology, ultimately refining problem statements and reinforcing conclusions.

Have you developed an exciting business idea based on your expertise and would you like to dedicate yourself to it full-time? Or are you curious about the experience of being an entrepreneur and being part of the dynamic startup environment? If so, you have the opportunity to engage in a project-oriented program (internship) in your own startup. It provides a practical alternative to conventional company internships, allowing you to explore your entrepreneurial and startup skills.

 

 

 

You do not need a business idea to join AAU's student startup community. If you are interested in developing your entrepreneurial skills and making an impact in future companies, you can contribute your expertise to an established AAU startup team. By joining an AAU student startup, you will actively engage in entrepreneurship within a dynamic environment alongside other students who share your passion for entrepreneurship.

Contribute your skills to an AAU startup.

If you have developed an interest in entrepreneurship towards the end of your studies, there is no need to worry. Despite nearing the completion of your education, there are still plenty of opportunities to pursue your entrepreneurial dreams through the AAU Startup Program.

By joining the AAU Startup Program while still studying, you can seamlessly continue your participation after graduation. You will have the chance to work on your idea within the program for up to 18 months, given that the idea maintains its potential and progress is made.

As an AAU student, you have the chance to explore various entrepreneurial opportunities, whether you already have a business idea or are simply curious. These offerings aim to enhance your entrepreneurial competencies and empower you to transform your knowledge and ideas into tangible value for yourself and others.
