Entrepreneurship isn’t a buzzword—it’s a mindset. A passion. An instinctual drive that blends visionary, creative thinking with a bit of bravery—all while embracing risk in the pursuit of great reward.
Around the world and across disciplines, students are seeking dynamic and challenging environments to take their ideas to the next level—while finding ways to leverage entrepreneurship to create a better world.
AACSB’s commitment to encouraging innovation and impact through a deeper connection with the business community was the catalyst for the Entrepreneurship Spotlight Challenge—and the Centers and Programs in the spotlight demonstrate leadership in creating (and incubating) cutting-edge business innovations through enriched student learning and experiential education.
The Entrepreneurship Spotlight Challenge showcases how AACSB-accredited schools engage with business practice to provide students an opportunity to gain to core skills required to be successful in business—whether that business is a start-up or a world-renowned corporation.
