In the course “Garage” the students will learn to implement instruments and methods that help in discovering, evaluating and realizing business ideas. They will have the possibility to bring in their own business ideas and develop them in interdisciplinary teams within a structured process. Based on the lean start-up method, the teams will be supported in each step by the course instructors and by external mentors, with the goal of transforming an initially rough idea into a convincing business concept. At the end of the term the student start-up-teams will present their business ideas in front of potential investors and other experts.
The Garage received the „Award for Excellent Teaching 2011“ at WU Vienna and stands out due to its highly interdisciplinary setting. Students from WU and BOKU will collaborate in this course. Interdisciplinary teams consisting of students from diverse fields allow – similar to real start-up situations – various perspectives, skills and competencies to shape the business idea and implementation.
