VUB TechTransfer wishes to create more awareness of entrepreneurship with researchers and young professionals and organises two courses: the Starter Seminars and the Advanced Starter Seminars.

Since 1995 the Starter Seminars provide a short but intensive introduction on the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and business. A variety of topics is covered such as developing a business plan, finance, marketing, the complex issues surrounding patenting,… . The Advanced Starter Seminars are a follow-up course where business aspects and starting up a company are treated more in-depth.

After having followed these courses some years ago as a ‘trainee’ entrepreneur Joeri Minnen is now been invited to share his experiences with the audience about his first year leading the Spin Off hbits. hbits ‘spins off’ from the Human Sciences department, and more in particular the Research Group TOR.
