Topics will include Design Thinking, Business Modeling, Enterprise Development, Capital Acquisition, Go-to-Market Planning and more. Ultimately we’ll put students into SAP platform environments for prototyping and, we hope, full product development. SAP knows entrepreneurship! | None | Click here |
