Shaping Tomorrow’s Business Leaders
Our two-week Future Entrepreneurs programme is designed for motivated students eager to explore the dynamic world of business. Covering core areas such as entrepreneurship, marketing, and financial planning, the course provides both knowledge and practical skills to succeed in a wide range of business contexts.
The focus is on innovation and leadership. Students are encouraged to think analytically and creatively while tackling real business challenges, developing strategies that reflect the needs of modern industries. Workshops, case studies, and simulations give a realistic taste of the situations business leaders face today.
Teamwork plays a central role throughout.

These exercises strengthen the ability to work with diverse perspectives and build effective solutions together.
Alongside technical expertise, the programme emphasises personal growth. Students build confidence, resilience, and adaptability while learning directly from industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences. This contact with practitioners provides valuable insight into the realities of leadership in a competitive environment.
By the end of the course, participants will have developed a strong grounding in business principles and the leadership qualities needed to pursue future success. The Future Entrepreneurs programme offers the chance to take the first steps towards becoming an innovative and effective leader in the world of business.

Course Objectives
Future Entrepreneurs is a two-week programme for students who want to understand how business ideas grow and succeed. You’ll explore how companies are built, how markets work, and what makes a pitch persuasive. Through projects and simulations you’ll practise analysing opportunities, shaping plans and presenting with confidence. By the end, you’ll have a stronger grasp of how enterprise works in the real world and the skills to begin shaping your own entrepreneurial path.
Module 1: Building Business Foundations
Learn the essentials of how businesses start and grow. You’ll explore the basics of entrepreneurship, from spotting opportunities to understanding what makes an idea workable. Activities focus on planning, goal-setting and exploring the first steps of launching a venture.
Module 2: Markets and Money
This module introduces you to the world of markets, customers and finance. You’ll look at how businesses attract buyers, set prices and manage resources. Through case studies and interactive tasks you’ll practise analysing trends and making decisions with limited information.
Module 3: Pitch and Present
The final module focuses on communication and persuasion. You’ll work in teams to prepare a pitch for a business idea, shaping your message and delivering it with clarity. These sessions give you practical experience in presenting confidently and working under time pressure.

Time to Shine
Time to Shine gives every student the chance to practise public speaking in a structured setting. By researching, preparing and delivering a project to an audience, you build confidence in expressing ideas clearly and develop the ability to present with authority. It’s an opportunity to refine communication skills that are valuable for academic study, professional life and beyond.
At the Mission 2035 showcase, Future Entrepreneurs step into the spotlight as founders of companies built to solve tomorrow’s crises. Each team presents a pitch for a start-up designed to meet urgent global needs, whether in climate, energy, food, or security. They reveal their prototype or concept, introduce their brand, and persuade the audience that their idea is strong enough to change the future. The format mirrors a high-pressure pitch session, where clarity, conviction, and evidence matter.
