Entrepreneurial students in Inholland's Food Commerce and Technology program are already starting their own businesses during their studies. Lecturer Zeger Stinis and colleague Dylan Berkeveld established the minor Challenge Entrepreneurship two years ago to guide students in producing and marketing their products. Students take the culinary product development course in the third year and can choose to further develop their product in the fourth year with the minor Challenge Entrepreneurship. They learn how to scale up production, how to write a marketing plan, and how to attract investors to produce and market the product. The students also participate in pitch battles of Jong Ondernemen, in which Inholland Delft achieves high scores because of its focus on product development.
Entrepreneurship prepares students well for the workplace, Zeger Stinis said. Students feel ownership for their own business and grow personally and professionally. By 2021, several start-ups have emerged, such as Bienjes, Peppertree Food, Saucijs Uniq, Trusty Truffle and Bonborange.
