Entrepreneurs and founders from businesses across north east Scotland have completed one of the world’s most impactful entrepreneurship development programmes at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
They attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last week for the intensive Entrepreneurship Development Programme supported by Opportunity North East Limited, Scottish Enterprise, Energy Transition Zone Ltd and the University of Aberdeen. This is the fourth cohort to attend MIT as part of the North East Scotland Regional EDP Project, led and co-funded by ONE.
The programme uses Bill Aulet's 24-step disciplined entrepreneurship process and covers venture creation, from generating ideas to building viable global businesses. It equips participants with proven tools and knowledge to use in their own businesses.
After their MIT experience and now back in the region, ONE and the regional partners will support the founders with a programme of follow-on activity as they apply their learnings.
ONE CEO Jennifer Craw MBE said: “The entrepreneurs and founders have immersed themselves in learning and using tools, techniques and processes that are used around the world to successfully create and scale innovation-led enterprises. We will now support them to apply their experience and knowledge from MIT in their businesses to realise their growth ambitions and create high-skill jobs for the future."
