Entrepreneurship Education

What is entrepreneurship education?

Entrepreneurship education for us means cultivating the mindset and acquiring the skills necessary to think and act entrepreneurially in business and society. We therefore support the teaching and learning of entrepreneurship in schools and higher education, as well as funding relevant research and practical programmes that teach start-up skills.

    Developing start-up competencies

    Young people’s entrepreneurial attitudes should be encouraged and their economic independence enabled. To this end, we support projects that impart start-up know-how and provide the necessary infrastructure in the start-up preparatory phase.

Our goal

We believe that our dynamic and complex digitized world needs more people who can think and act entrepreneurially. We thus aim to awaken young people’s spirit of entrepreneurship and nurture the skills they need to apply it, so that they can develop the creative agency to become "entrepreneurs of their own lives."  

This includes enhancing entrepreneurial thinking among students and equipping aspiring entrepreneurs with start-up know-how, so they are able to put their ideas into practice. We also support research on entrepreneurship success factors that adds to the body of existing knowledge in the field.

Why is entrepreneurship important?

Interview with Dr. Katrin Schlecht.
"For me, entrepreneurship education means always critically questioning one’s own approach and creatively adapting it, thereby making it possible to implement one’s ideas successfully." 

What constitutes entrepreneurial thinking for you? 
Openness and creativity. Someone who thinks and acts entrepreneurially is someone who is always trying to stay one step ahead of others. In order to succeed, you have to walk through the world with your eyes open. You can’t follow a single path too rigidly. Instead, you have to be able to adapt creatively to changing circumstances. 

Why does this make someone a better leader? 
Good leaders must carry others along and motivate them. This only works when you have conviction in your way of doing things. If you stay flexible and always question your own approach, you make more reflective decisions that make sense to others. This is an essential foundation that enables a team to implement ideas successfully.  

How does the foundation promote these competencies? 
Through practice. We believe that entrepreneurship education isn’t only about disseminating theory. We therefore support educational projects through which children and young adults can apply their ideas and thereby discover what it means to act entrepreneurially. Only through lived experience can a sustainable spirit of entrepreneurship be awakened.   

  • "An entrepreneur is someone who, in following his vision, always looks beyond himself and brings others along, so that everyone benefits."
