Wow, this is the very first post on the Aalto Entrepreneurship Society Blog.
The best thing to start off with is probably to try and explain what we do? I’ll try. From my point of view.
Firstly, I’m going to tell you that this post is just my opinion about AES. One of our main visions about aes is to be as informal as possible. If something needs to be done, you do it. If you want to do something, you do it. If you need help, you get it. This system is working really great right now, we have such a great team behind AES. This is also the reason why we don’t have a formal vision, mission and strategy and so forth. We’re just a group of students driving entreprneurship in any way we can. You’re welcome to join.
Aalto Entrepreneurship Society is a student driven organization. Were a registered association and we mostly organize events for people to meet each other. The organization will be managed by Aalto students and everything we do will mainly be targeted at Aalto students. We will also of course be collaborating with Aalto University and together create an ecosystem that will be the best launchpad for Aalto innovations and startups.
We’re always talking about changing the culture at the Aalto University to be more entrepreneurial. It’s difficult to measure if this really is a problem we should be solving. How do you know a culture for something is not as good as it should be? Well, according to our teams experience, entrepreneurship is something of a curse word at the universities at the moment (The three universities are represented on our board). Anyone publicly announcing he plans to start his own company is considered an unemployed brag about to lose. Our studies don’t support entrepreneurship. However, we think entrepreneurship is very important, for driving forward our inventions to innovations, and a supporting ecosystem is needed.
However, changing a culture is a bit vague as a task and a bit negative. I would rather say that we want to increase the drive to become entrepreneurs. That’s a better goal. By increasing the drive, we’ll get more people together. More ideas. More business plans. Eventually, more startups and more great companies.
We also try to avoid doing duplicate things that already exist. Our most important stakeholders are Aalto students.
That’s what I think about AES. Now I’m interested in what you have to say?
