NEW COURSE FOR FALL 2008: Special Topics in Entrepreneurship: Ventures to Address Global Challenges
EGR 495 Special Topics in Entrepreneurship: Ventures to Address Global Challenges, Fall 2008
This course will highlight some of the most promising global challenge-related research, technologies and insights emerging around the
Princeton campus, and involve relevant faculty as expert guides as the class moves its focus across disciplines. Although our primary
geographical focus is on the developing world, we will periodically discuss examples of American entrepreneurs who tackled challenges similar
to those presented by these global issues. The course can be a type of "academic passport" across our campus to understand how exciting
research and technology developed here - regardless of department - could support new venture creation elsewhere in the world. Throughout the
semester, we will also have the chance to meet entrepreneurs involved in ventures around the globe. Depending on student interest and
guest speaker availability, we may also be able to schedule optional conversations in other settings with additional participants in the V2AGC
marketplace.
