The rapid advancement of AI technologies is reshaping industries, redefining professional roles, and transforming educational environments. In entrepreneurial and academic contexts alike, the integration of AI offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation, strategic decision-making, and sustainable development. However, the pace of digital transformation also presents significant challenges, including ethical considerations, skills gaps, and the need for adaptive teaching and consulting practices. There is a growing demand for professionals who not only understand AI tools but can effectively apply them in business, education, and social innovation. Addressing these challenges requires a shift in mindset, particularly among educators, consultants, and innovation leaders.
The “AI Mindset in Entrepreneurial Spaces” is an intensive six-week training program (180 academic hours / 6 ECTS) designed to develop participants’ competencies in integrating artificial intelligence into entrepreneurial, educational, and consulting practices. The program combines online retreats, expert-led seminars, hands-on project development, and individual consulting to provide a comprehensive learning experience.
The training program aims to cultivate an AI-driven entrepreneurial mindset among professionals in education, consulting, and business development. Participants will acquire practical skills in applying AI tools, developing data-informed solutions, and leading innovation in their respective fields. The program empowers trainees to create AI-based projects, integrate digital technologies into pedagogical practices, and promote ethical and sustainable use of AI across sectors.
Participants explore cutting-edge topics such as AI-driven business strategies, startup lifecycle management, ethical AI use, low-code/no-code tools, and digital transformation in industries like education and sustainable food production. Through collaborative sessions and individual work, trainees design their own AI-based entrepreneurial solutions and present them for peer and expert feedback.
This program targets educators, trainers, consultants, and innovation-driven professionals seeking to lead and support digital transformation with a focus on value creation, strategic thinking, and responsible AI adoption.
