The Group

The Chair of Entrepreneurship is part of the Department of Management, Technology and Economics (MTEC) at ETH Zurich. It is directed by Prof. Dr. Bart Clarysse.

At the group we focus on research and teaching in the broad area of entrepreneurship, with a strong emphasis on innovative and aspirations-driven entrepreneurial activity, aiming at high impact. Our main context are independent technology ventures, which emerge from various environments, for example universities but also from different types of corporate venturing initiatives.

We approach our research and teaching from an integrated perspective, forging strong links with our colleagues in strategy and innovation management. In cooperation with partners from academia and industry/services, we are developing solutions to current problems and phenomena in entrepreneurship.

Through our activities we strive toward becoming an internationally renowned group of research excellence in the domain of entrepreneurship and, at the same time, develop into a strong partner for the entrepreneurial community in and around ETH Zurich, with the goal to foster aspirational entrepreneurial activity across Switzerland.
