4TU Responsible Sustainability Challenge | Entrepreneurship Workshop @ Eindhoven University of Technology

Thursday 8 May 2025 / 12.00 - 18.00
A workshop focused on Entrepreneurship as a part of 4TU Responsible Sustainability Challenge is now open for students to register. Sign up now and take the first step toward making an impact!

Workshop: The Entrepreneurial Mindset – From Ideas to Impact

💡 How can entrepreneurial thinking accelerate any career path?
🔍 How do innovators turn ideas into reality?
🌍 Where does the journey from problem to solution begin?

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting companies—it’s about thinking differently, solving problems, and creating meaningful impact. In this interactive workshop, you’ll explore how an entrepreneurial mindset can be a powerful tool in any career, whether you aim to be a founder, researcher, industry leader, or innovator within a team.

What to Expect:

✅ Roles & Motivation – Discover different innovation roles and what drives people to take action.
✅ Debunking the Myths – Do entrepreneurs always take big risks? Do you need a "million-dollar idea" to start? Let’s separate fact from fiction.
✅ Start with the Problem, Not the Solution – Learn why the best ideas begin with understanding real needs and shifting perspectives.
✅ Innovation Readiness – You don’t go from 0 to 100 in two weeks—so what does an entrepreneurial journey actually look like?
✅ Support & Resources on Campus – Find out how your university can help you explore ideas, develop skills, and connect with like-minded people.

This workshop is part of the 4TU Responsible Sustainability Challenge initiative; more information about this initiative can be found here.
