Researcher or employee
Are you a Fontys staff member or researcher looking to develop your entrepreneurial ambitions?
Or are you seeking collaboration and guidance for your research project?
As an entrepreneur, there comes a point where it’s no longer just about starting up – it’s about scaling and moving forward. You may already have experience with market research, product development, or building a solid foundation. Now it’s time to take the next steps: refining your strategy, forming new partnerships, or even attracting investors. This phase brings new challenges, but with the right support, they can be tackled successfully.
At the Fontys Centre for Entrepreneurship, we offer tailored support and collaboration opportunities. Whether you're looking for help with a specific challenge, want to further develop your skills, or expand your network, we’re here to help you grow your entrepreneurial ambitions. We also offer opportunities for research projects that contribute to innovative entrepreneurial solutions.
Interested in collaborating or exploring your research through an entrepreneurial lens? Get in touch with us – we’d be happy to think along with you.


Entrepreneurship Education
In entrepreneurship programs such as the Minor in Entrepreneurship offered by the Fontys Centre for Entrepreneurship, students work in teams to develop a business idea and build a startup around it. While the goal of such programs is to simulate real-life entrepreneurship as closely as possible, there remains a fundamental difference between this approach and the way entrepreneurs operate in the real world.
For more information about the research or if you are interested in collaborating, please contact Gert Poppe. This research on the importance of context in entrepreneurship education is part of the broader research theme Business Leadership & Entrepreneurship, conducted within the lectoraat Industrial Engineering & Entrepreneurship
