Enterprise Accelerator - Centre of Excellence in Education

The Enterprise Accelerator operates within all degree programs at SAMK. It helps students become entrepreneurs before their graduation. During its ten years of operation the Enterprise Accelerator has created over 150 enterprises and over 200 new entrepreneurs so far. The Enterprise Accelerator helps students who have a business idea or an operating company. They will also be assisted in enterprise succession or in the acquisition of an enterprise. A cooperation agreement and an individual study plan in entrepreneurship will be prepared for each student in the Enterprise Accelerator.

 The student will be supported by a mentor network. An expert mentor will encourage and advise the student entrepreneur. The student can obtain as many as 60 ECTS credits for completed studies related to the setting up and development of his or her own enterprise.

The Enterprise Accelerator provides a unique opportunity for combining studying and entrepreneurship. Currently, the accelerator creates at least one enterprise each month.
