A decade after the University of
Luxembourg teamed with the Chamber of Commerce to offer a master's
degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the president of the
governance board highlighted the importance of attracting and keeping
talent in Luxembourg.
Yves Elsen added the agreement between
the two partners encourages entrepreneurship and innovation and has
contributed to the development of a "favourable ecosystem to create
businesses".
The university's Master in
Entrepreneurship and Innovation was first introduced in 2007 and
Luxembourg has also seen the rise of entrepreneurship projects such
as the House of Entrepreneurship, the House of Startups, nyuko and
the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (Lhoft).
General
Director of the Chamber of Commerce, Carlo Thelen, said the
partnership for the master programme was in line with the chamber's
mission to encourage and promote entrepreneurship, which he described
as "a powerful vector contributing to the
socio-economic development and competitiveness of the country".
Over the past 10 years,
215 students have completed the master's degree and there are 43
students of 28 different nationalities enrolled for the current
academic year. The two-year course includes an internship of up to
six months as well as a thesis or the creation of a business plan.
