Experiential Entrepreneurship
London Campus — July 27 – August 8, 2025
Entrepreneurs aren’t just born.
Experiential Entrepreneurship is a two-week summer program designed for aspiring entrepreneurs eager to create economic, social, environmental or cultural value with their ideas and/or intrapreneurs looking to make a difference in the organization they choose to work for. This program fosters interdisciplinary and industry-engaged teaching and learning to model how people with different expertise, interests and experiences work together in an inclusive environment to generate ideas that solve real-world problems.

Collaborating in groups, students will develop a start-up from concept to a compelling pitch presented to a seasoned panel of entrepreneurs.
