Short Entrepreneurship Summer Program

The Tel Aviv University Short Entrepreneurship Summer Program, taking place between July 4th and July 22nd 2016, offers an outstanding opportunity for students to analyze business entrepreneurship in the context of Israel’s technological thriving innovation. Beyond the top level academic course, students will get a chance to see the start-up eco-system of Tel Aviv and its surroundings, and will participate in an exciting social and cultural programming by our madrichim (counselors).

The program consists of a 4 credit course under the title of " Business Entrepreneurship: Israel as a Case Study", given by Dr. Gil Avnimelech. The course is aimed at exploring the many dimensions of new innovative venture creation, development and financing. Within its frame, students would deal with issues such as sources of ideas, type of opportunities, creativity and idea generation, business model design, business model validation, stages of start-up development, the lean startup approach, IP protection, business plan writing, and sources of finance for new innovative ventures. Many of the examples and cases presented in the course will be taken from the Israeli context. The course will include guest lecturers for the Israeli high tech industry.
