SSE Riga launches new “Introduction to Entrepreneurship” course
SSE Riga is launching a new Bachelor programme course, Introduction to Entrepreneurship, running from October 26 to November 24, 2026. More than 140 BSc students will take part in the 50-hour, hands-on course designed to develop entrepreneurial thinking, creativity, and practical problem-solving skills.
The course is delivered within the IMPACTWHEEL project and integrates the Value Creation Wheel (VCW) methodology, a structured approach that helps participants identify challenges, explore opportunities, generate ideas, and develop solutions that create value.
Throughout the course, students will work in teams on real-world challenges provided by industry partners. Through workshops, case studies, AI-enhanced ideation, mentoring, and insights from entrepreneurs, they will explore the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and learn how to develop, test, and communicate early-stage business ideas.
The course will culminate in a public Demo Day, where students will present prototypes of their ideas and pitch their concepts to an external jury.
