About the Centre for Entrepreneurship

The Center for Entrepreneurship was established in 2005 and is an interdisciplinary competence center that conducts research and teaching in entrepreneurship.

Vision and mission

UiA's vision: Co-creating for tomorrow’s knowledge
Our mission: We educate tomorrow's entrepreneurs

We educate tomorrow's entrepreneurs

Society is changing, and we need people who dare and are eager to challenge current systems. We need more people who want to create jobs for themselves and others. We need those who want to help develop the organizations we already have – those who can step in and see new opportunities, identify creative solutions, and understand how to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

To fulfill our mission, we must provide students with relevant education, useful tools, support, the opportunity to build networks, and a mindset that challenges established truths. Students who have completed our education will be responsible, proud, and engaged entrepreneurs and drivers in their own or an existing business.

We will work towards the mission through three strategic areas: Entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial research, incubator.
