Co-operation with entrepreneurs

Aalborg University has taken a great interest in entrepreneurship. The university's efforts are made through SEA (Supporting Entrepreneurship at Aalborg University).

SEA offers business people a unique opportunity of getting professional advice and testing of knowledge based business ideas. In short, SEA can help you realise your entrepreneur dream.

All ideas and thoughts are different. That is why the offer by SEA comprises different arrangements, each adapted to a specific period of the process from idea to reality.

Training of entrepreneurs with mentor

SEA is continuously organising training programmes for entrepreneurs. The programmes are open to all interested, irrespective of educational background. However the business idea should have a knowledge intensive focus. The programmes function as introductory programmes to the incubator arrangement and are providing useful tools for development of business plans. During the course programme you will be attached to a mentor who will assist guiding you during the course.

The incubator arrangement

The incubator arrangement with SEA is an offer directed at innovative souls with an interest in entrepreneurship and start of business. Through the incubator arrangement you will be attached to internal and external resource persons with special knowledge.

In this way, focus will be directed on the interdisciplinary aspect around you and your business.

  • Assessment and development of an idea
  • Preparation of a business plan

Network

To many entrepreneurs success is associated with knowing the right people and being able to draw on resources through ones network. At AAU, great efforts are made to prepare the framework for creating networks among entrepreneurs, researchers, students, etc (in Danish).

You can extend your network through Aalborg University's network activities. Here theorists and practitioners meet, where the common denominator for all of them is the interest in the subject of the network. See the total list of the university's networks (in Danish).
