The Entrepreneurship Avenue is designed to inspire and encourage students from various fields. Since day 1, we have been able to do so thanks to a strong (startup) ecosystem and supporters.
10 years of entrepreneurship avenue
2014
Deliberately seen as an experiment, the first Entrepreneurship Avenue was designed and implemented within just three months by a team of 15 WU students and faculty. With over 600 participants and 25 startup teams, expectations were exceeded right from the first edition!
2015
After the success of the first year, it was clear: Entrepreneurship Avenue is here to stay. In a strategy workshop with Frank Owen, the new organizational team developed the purpose and guiding beliefs of the program to lay the foundation for the coming years. The number of participants could be doubled.
2016
AACSB International, the world’s largest education network, recognized Entrepreneurship Avenue as a best practice in entrepreneurship education. In 2016 there were three times as many participants as in 2014, and in 2017 four times as many students were part of the Avenue.
2018/19
We reinforced the workshop series and the cross-university collaboration, also thanks to the ECN expansion.
2020/22
The organizing teams took on the Covid19 challenge in an entrepreneurial manner. They redesigned the Entrepreneurship Avenue into an all-online program in 2020 and realized that this changeover was not only a difficulty, but also brought with it many new opportunities. The Avenue became even more diverse and international than in previous years.
