Entrepreneurship
For us, entrepreneurship is THE key competence for recognising opportunities, seizing them or even creating them in the first place.
A new foundation allows those involved to sustainably transform existing and often unquestioned structures. This requires unconventional thinking and critical reflection. Thinking entrepreneurially can become a driving force for innovation and progress. Ultimately, it is about overcoming the status quo and achieving more digital and sustainable practices in business and society.
In our teaching and research, we highlight opportunities to create economic, ecological or social added value – and we do so in cooperation, because entrepreneurship is a cross-cutting topic that touches on the research activities of many members of Leuphana.
Numerous practical activities such as a start-up service, a social change hub and a cooperation service further strengthen our claim.
Research Agenda
The School of Management and Technology at Leuphana University focuses on entrepreneurship to address societal problems and seize opportunities that create economic, environmental, and social value. Our faculty conducts high-quality research and collaborates closely with doctoral students to promote this broad vision of entrepreneurship.
In practice, we have implemented several large innovation projects with external stakeholders in the Lüneburg region and the Hamburg metropolitan area. Our research is award-winning; Leuphana is the only university in Lower Saxony to receive a grant from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research under the Innovative University program. Additionally, the School is an active member of the European University Network on Entrepreneurship, supporting this mission.
