We now have added two more confirmed venture creation programs – one in USA and one in Belgium. In Oregon we have the Technology Entrepreneurship Program, where students get the opportunity to start real-life ventures – all of them are actually incorporated as formal part of the program, and some of the teams get the opportunity to compete in various business plan competition across USA and also outside of USA. In Belgium we have CPME, which is a truly cross-disciplinary program offering students from seven faculties to integrate the start-up of a real-life venture into a master program of their choice. CPME is also one of the earliest started programs that we have come across so far, started in 1997, which means that they have almost 15 years of experience. We will conduct an interview with the manager of the program shortly and hopefully find out more. The CPME program is also described in a chapter of the book found here.
