ETM | UTwente

The Entrepreneurship & Technology Management (ETM) section aims to achieve societal impact by facilitating the entrepreneurial journey - from idea to end-user - through education, research and outreach activities. The ETM section is part of the Hightech Business & Entrepreneurship department of the University of Twente. At a people-first university of technology, we are uniquely positioned to achieve our mission. In all our activities, we aim to combine a rigorous scientific approach with clear relevance for practice, which can be characterised as engaged scholarship and interdisciplinary challenge-based learning. Together with our partners, we play a vital role in the University of Twente entrepreneurial ecosystem, the 4TU/ECIU network, the EUREGIO and the Dutch higher education landscape. Our education is offered at all levels, from bachelor students in International Business Administration and Creative Technology to executive master students in Risk Management and PhD students in Business Administration. Additionally, we are active in university-wide minors, dedicated executive certificate programmes such as Innovation for SMEs, and tailor-made in-company programs. Our research is usually executed in collaboration with societal partners and (co-)funded by such partners and/or national or EU competitive grant schemes. It has led, among others, to publications in leading management journals, such as Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Marketing Research, Production & Operations Management, and Research Policy. Next to involving our partners and students in our education and research, our outreach consists of regularly organising practitioner workshops, giving invited speeches, and ETM proudly hosting the European Laboratory of Innovative Purchasing & Supply (EL-IPS).
