UOW Entrepreneurs - Entrepreneurial Mindset

Activity overview

How is this program run?

This program is running online only.

What will I do?

Entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business; it is a mindset, a way of thinking and acting that drives individuals to identify opportunities, take calculated risks and create value. Entrepreneurs are innovators, problem-solvers and visionaries who thrive in uncertainty and adversity. In this module, students learn about what it means to have an entrepreneurial mindset and the importance of starting with a problem when developing their ideas.

This module has been developed by iAccelerate as part of its UOW Entrepreneurs program and is funded by the NSW Government’s Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Skills (TIES) grant.
