At Chalmers, entrepreneurial action is a mindset that permeates our research, education, how we create impact, and how we collaborate with society. We see entrepreneurship as the ability to identify opportunities, take initiative, and create value – whether that happens in a lab, a startup, a classroom, or in collaboration with industry.
