The training in Lausanne is made up of 20 modules taking place at the end of the week, on Friday and Saturday (except for the one week introduction module) and focuses on the interaction of 4 major themes. On one hand:

Throughout the program, an entrepreneurial project leads all participants to experiment and prepare for the creation of new ventures. The teaching is based on a concrete, pragmatic approach with extensive use of case studies fostering class participation and group work. It also includes the development by teams of business plans aiming at the creation of new ventures. The Study Trip and the Training period at an University abroad provide a foreign perspective on new ventures as well as developing additional managerial competencies. The practical part of the program consists of innovative project work that shall be of strategic importance for the hosting enterprise, organization or new venture. It can be pursued in the enterprise in which the participant already works. Bringing value to the company or to potential investors, it can be performed individually, or in pairs usually made up of an engineer and a manager.
