🤯 Universities preaching: “Entrepreneurship is so important!” but the reality paints a vastly different picture: Only 7% (!) of European universities have implemented entrepreneurship as the third pillar of their mission. 🤯 This needs to change—and it needs to change faster. That’s why, at AlpMomentum, building on the Redstone University Index we’ve undertaken an extensive analysis of 450 universities across 34 European countries to uncover who’s truly walking the talk. 📢 We’re proud to announce the launch of the University Entrepreneurship Commitment Tracker, backed by Redstone VC. This report highlights which European universities are leading the change and which are not truly making entrepreneurship a core part of their mission. 🎯 Our bold mission for 2030: Increase the adoption of entrepreneurship as the third pillar from 7% to 70%. 💡 Curious about which universities are driving innovation and entrepreneurship forward? Featuring institutions like Technische Universität München, HEC Paris, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, our evolving report sheds light on how universities are transforming education to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs. 📊 Is your university part of this movement? Explore the tracker (link in the comment section) to find out. More universities are joining - will yours be next? If you think your University is not recognized correctly, please comment and we will have a closer look for the release in the next Version in a few months time. After analyzing the significant discrepancies in university efficiency rankings, it’s clear: we need more transparency about the impact created by the €170 billion spent annually on universities in Europe. 👉 Download the full report (link in the comments) and see if your institution is part of the change. #Entrepreneurship #HigherEducation #Innovation #2030Mission #UniversityTracker #AlpMomentum #RedstoneVC Michael Brehm Anurag .
