This workshop provides an introduction to entrepreneurial thinking. We ground the workshop in the strong belief that the capabilities of entrepreneurship will be critical to every scientist’s or manager’s future career, whether he or she chooses to create a standalone new venture, becomes a member of the corporate world, or wants to excel in academia. The workshop is intended to provide doctoral candidates with an experience of thinking and behaving in the typical manner of successful entrepreneurs. The workshop will explore and examine the core features of entrepreneurship. The central part will be the identification and exploitation of new opportunities to create and capture value. We will also connect such endeavours to your personal motivations and goals.
- Having completed the workshop, participants should be able to recognize the fundamental features of the entrepreneurial mindset, behaviors, and skills.
- Participants will understand the central role of teamwork and how to manage it while identifying and developing entrepreneurial opportunities.
- Like real-life entrepreneurship, this workshop will be action-oriented and hands-on. Participants should be willing to share ideas, experiences, and ambitions.
Input sessions by the instructors and based on podcasts featuring highly successful entrepreneurs, interactive elements, group discussions, and group presentations

Jessica Bielski completing her PhD dissertation at the Chair of Architectural Informatics. She has since been awarded a full PhD scholarship of the private Wüstenrot Foundation in 2024 and collaborated internationally, e.g. Aalborg University. She has been working as a researcher associate in international teams at the Chairs of Architectural Informatics and Entrepreneurship since 2021, after finishing her Master of Architecture with high honours at the TUM (Johannes B. Ortner Award). Her research focus is human-computer-interaction for machine learning systems for the architectural design process, specifically situation awareness, explainability, cognitive psychology and workload, and user experience. She has taught this knowledge of rapid digital prototyping in varying formats at both chairs starting as early as a master student. She has led multiple workshops for interdisciplinary junior and senior audiences, as both primary and guest lecturer (e.g. Tsinghua SIGS Summer School).
Mohammed is a PhD Candidate at the TUM School of Management. He received his M.Sc. in Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship from Bournemouth University in the UK and his M.Eng in Geomatic Science and Surveying from Hassan II Institute in Morocco. Prior to the PhD, Mohammed worked in the geospatial industry in 3D mapping, and co-founded, Amendy Foods, a startup in sustainable agriculture and healthy food. Currently, his primary research interest centers on entrepreneurship as a tool to address social and environmental issues, particularly studying sustainable energy ventures in Kenya. In a second stream of research, he also studies entrepreneurship in institutionally challenging contexts, specially in contexts of poverty, necessity, and marginalisation. In teaching, Mohammed brings to class a unique blend of hands-on entrepreneurship experience with a tech and science flavour, and tailored insights from management and entrepreneurship research.
