Executive Master in Entrepreneurship

The Program

This 1-year program aims at entrepreneurs who wish to create or develop their new business.

It answers the needs of any creator to set up a clear strategy for the entreprise, to choose the right management and to write a convincing business plan for raising capital.

While on average 40% to 50% of new ventures desappear after 5 years of business, 93% of the 333 companies created since 1986 by our students in Belgium are still in business!

This unique program, animated by European experts working on the field will be for the first time entirely taught in Vietnam, in high- end rated facilities (19th floor of Fideco Tower in Ham Nghi street, district 1). It is composed of 6 modules and 3 coaching sessions, comprising the essential elements for achieving a successful business:

  1. The entrepreneurial process: Starting & growing your business
  2. The entrepreneurial strategy
  3. The entrepreneurial finance
  4. The entrepreneurial behavior
  5. Operations & IT
  6. Sales & operational marketing

 
During the whole program, students will benefit from face to face coaching sessions, individually and in groups and from a feedback of a panel of investors and expert players in supporting new ventures in Vietnam.
