nor in Business Innovation Design has been developed in collaboration with Business models Inc., Utrecht Inc., digital communication agency Greenberry, the Research Group on Cooperative Entrepreneurship of the HU and a number of corporate partners, that is why our approach is hands-on.

During Learning Days you will demonstrate your knowledge and skills in the presence of the corporate partners, while the Conference Days will provide you with in-depth understanding of different conceptual models, methods and best practices. By the end of this minor you could create a new value proposition or come up with new strategies that open up new business opportunities for the company. Features of the programme:
-Co-designed with corporate partners
-Problem-based education
-Students are embedded in a company
-Possibilities for star performers to stay in the company after the minor
