New Tender for CTI Entrepreneurship Modules 3 and 4

The courses should not only teach the fundamentals, but also provide specific support in the shape of coaching. The course organisers achieve this by using inspiring trainers and coaches with expert knowledge and a wealth of practical experience. If necessary, the coaches from the CTI Start-up network can be involved at early stage to support start-ups during the modules.

New for 2018, modules 3 and 4 will only be offered as sector-specific courses for five different clusters. To achieve the greatest possible homogeneity among course participants, the content will be tailored to the following groups (clusters):

1. ICT (Internet applications, software, etc.)
2. Advanced Engineering (micro, nano, materials science, robotics, climate/energy)
3. Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals
4. Medical Technology (medtech, devices, mobile health)
5. Social Entrepreneurship

Service providers are being sought for the period 2018-2024. Course modules 1 and 2 do not form part of the invitation to tender as the existing tender runs until the end of 2019.
