Impact Entrepreneurship. Business as usual is over
In a world shaped by ecological crises, technological transformation, and social inequality, entrepreneurship has become essential for driving systemic change. The Master of Science in Impact Entrepreneurship equips aspiring changemakers with the business acumen, entrepreneurial mindset, and toolkits to create meaningful impact at scale—whether through sustainability innovation, social entrepreneurship, or responsible technology.
Whether you aim to launch a mission-driven startup, integrate impact into corporate strategies, or lead transformative innovation within industries, this Master provides the knowledge, tools, and global network to align business success with purpose.
This programme introduces students to three types of entrepreneurship that challenges the unsustainable status quo of the economy and society: sustainability entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, and technology entrepreneurship.
Based in Europe’s innovation hubs, Berlin and Paris, with an immersive study retreat in Germany, this two-year programme blends cutting-edge business practices with hands-on entrepreneurial experience.
Over six terms, students gain a deep understanding of key business concepts, such as impact management, values-based innovation, and business model design, while applying their learnings through a 1-year venture building project, internships, and company consulting project.

Career Perspective
However, the new corporate commitment should be seen as the floor of our forecast, not the ceiling. Given the world’s many pressing concerns – climate change, aging populations, income inequality, and more – it’s hard to think of any industry or sector that could benefit more from talented and socially aware entrepreneurs.
