Entrepreneurship education for a sustainable future
Entrepreneurship education strengthens the knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable individuals to build their own pathways to the future. So, what is entrepreneurship education, in practice, and how can it be implemented? How do we create an entrepreneurial culture and make the future sustainable? How can digitalisation and internationalisation help as part of the entrepreneurial path?
