Measuring International Entrepreneurial Competency

This important research project seeks to a) engage graduate students from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in an immersive entrepreneurial experience in Toronto, Canada in the fields of advanced computing, clean technologies and scientific innovation and b) measure the development of international entrepreneurial competencies impacted by this experiential learning. Students will complete an internship with either Raven or Shiphrah Biomedical. They will participate in a variety of structured entrepreneurial learning activities and will work with these start-up employers to learn about Canadian entrepreneurial innovation firsthand. Their research projects will support the two start-up companies to create evidence and launch their products to market. The findings of the international entrepreneurship highway evaluation will significantly inform future international entrepreneurial programming, which is hypothesized to lead to increased entrepreneurial activities in Canada and by Canadian overseas.
