LOCATION LUCERNE
„Smart-up – successfully implementing ideas“ is a program of Lucerne University of Applied Sciences. Its goal is to motivate and empower students, employees and alumni to implement their business ideas and start their own start-up. Founders receive support from smart-up in the form of individual coaching and advice, infrastructure, matching with other students and external stakeholders as well as workshops and events. In addition, students can use their studies as a start-up toolbox and generate valuable synergies between their studies and their business by writing their project papers or bachelor thesis on the topic of their own start-up and acquiring relevant entrepreneurial skills through specific modules. In this context, the module 2 «Business Concept» in Lucerne will also be offered.
