Entrepreneurship comes from within. Yet as the Summer School Aftermath showed us it is also a welcome side-effect of group dynamics. During a whole day ULURU|Beagle Theatre was the playground for a group of 15 students with a sounding international character. Here they experienced, breathed, experimented with and talked about the benefits of U|B entrepreneurship.

Taking real life cases from U|B the students were inspired to think out of their academic box and put their knowledge and experience to use. The deliverable of that day was the start of a business plan for a unique and separate platform inside U|B Sphere. The role of this platform will be to firstly motivate students to engage in extracurricular activities (engaging in real life cases) and secondly stimulating entrepreneurial capabilities and problem solving skills.

Besides their own individual business ideas the students were sent home with an assignment: work out the proposition for the student platform, make it self supporting and back it up with a clear business model and earning model.

Why do we do this? The world needs young and passionate entrepreneurial thinkers. In view of this we initiated U|B Sphere (early 2009) as a centre of entrepreneurship. A place outside ULURU|Beagle where companies and entrepreneurs meet, team up and share knowledge, leading to new opportunities. To connect this centre to the student platform shows one of the strong and essential assets of U|B Sphere: a hands-on academy for promising students daring to take on current events.
