Think big! Entrepreneurial impact that moves a billion dollar

Student teams will develop entrepreneurial impact projects to change the world at an international summer school in Munich.

International students will meet in Munich for two weeks of intensive lectures and project work, culminating with a final presentation and ceremony, to work on project ideas that 'move a billion'.  The EIISS program will run from September 22nd to October 2nd in Munich, Germany. There are spaces 10 international students alongside for students from Munich, ranging from 4th semester Bachelor to Post Doctorates, and the program will be run in English.  

Under a “Call for Projects”, the organisors  are accepting all ideas provided that they are powerful enough to foster true Societal Change.  In a world where the population is growing by the billions,  projects must either have the ability to earn, spend or save at least a billion Euros. The students will choose 6 of these projects and then work to create a plan that shows how Entrepreneurial Thinking can be leveraged to realize these projects. In fact, we are looking to coin a new term we have named “Entrepreneurial Levers”.  An “Entrepreneurial Lever” is the application of new thinking to a problem that has not been able to be solved by conventional means.

The organisers

The Entrepreneurial Impact, International Summer School (EIISS), is one of the newest and most ambitious projects of the LMU Entrepreneurship Center, at the Ludwig Maximilians Universität, together with our partner centers, the UnternehmerTUM of TUM, The Strascheg Center of the Hochschule and the CeTIM of the Bundeswehr Universität.  It is the first time that the Entrepreneurship Centers of the four major Munich Universities are working together.

oikos International embraces the idea of the Summer School, and supports the event in recruiting, idea finding and outreach for the project proposal developed.
