From 29 June to 3 July 2026, Aspira University of Applied Sciences in Split hosted and successfully organised the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) entitled “Entrepreneurship & Startup Development: From Idea to Business Plan.”
The programme brought together 53 students from 10 countries, who participated in five days of intensive lectures, workshops, mentoring sessions, and team-based activities focused on developing entrepreneurial competencies. Working in international teams, participants developed innovative business ideas, analysed market opportunities and customer needs, designed business models using the Business Model Canvas, and prepared financial projections and investor pitch presentations.
On the final day of the programme, student teams presented their business plans to academic staff and a panel of experts, demonstrating the knowledge and skills they had acquired in entrepreneurship, strategic planning, and startup development. The programme awarded participants 3 ECTS credits while also providing valuable opportunities for international collaboration, the exchange of experiences, and the establishment of new professional connections.
By organising this Erasmus+ BIP, ASPIRA once again confirmed its commitment to the internationalisation of higher education, strengthening international cooperation, and fostering entrepreneurial competencies and innovative thinking among students.
