Interdisciplinary student teams from Entrepreneurship with Purpose and Funpreneur showcased innovative business models ranging from circular mushroom materials (HerbShroom) to sustainable digital platforms.
At the conclusion of the summer semester, student founding teams presented their validated prototypes and business model posters at the Digital Entrepreneurship Hub. Projects included HerbShroom, Conhi, and circular economy initiatives developed over 12 weeks of customer discovery and prototyping.
Guided by Prof. Dr. Janina Sundermeier, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Martin Gersch, and industry mentors, the teams demonstrated how entrepreneurial methods can address pressing ecological and social challenges.
