Lomonosov Moscow State University Business School holds Autumn School “Entrepreneuship and Business Engineering”

The Autumn School “Entrepreneuship and Business Engineering”, a joint educational project of MSU BS and Saxion University (Netherlands) supported by the major Russian and Dutch business incubators - GenerationS and Kennispark Twente, took place at the beginning of December 2015. During two months Russian and Dutch students working together in international teams developed strategies of introducing innovative products into foreign markets. The organisers held a contest to choose participants among the students from both countries who later took part in the final competition. Students made recommendations for real companies - "4Silence" (Netherlands) and "SolarNanoServe" (Russia), which are successful start-ups willing to enter the market. The educational support was provided in the form of video courses and presentations of MSU BS’s and Saxion’s faculty on the virtual platform http://www.autumnbusinessschool.org. Experts and business coaches of Generation S and Kennispark Twente also helped students with their advice. In December Dutch students came to MSU BS to defend their research papers. During their stay in Moscow the students visited Skolkovo Technology Park and some Russian and international companies. On December 2, 2015, there was a final defense of the papers with the virtual participation of the companies’ representatives via Skype. They asked questions and assessed the students’ research results. The best team was awarded with a study-tour to Saxion University which will take place in March 2016.
