The core class assignment is to research and prepare a business plan and presentations for either an intrapreneurial or entrepreneurial urban venture (i.e. within an existing firm or a stand-alone startup). Seminar Description – We seek entrepreneurial solutions to the problems and challenges of future cities with special emphasis on opportunities provided by new technologies and methods. Humanity is urbanizing at a rate of roughly one Manhattan per month. Rethinking and reinventing how we move, how we live, our building systems, food sourcing, being energy effective, and many others are problems needing solutions. UV is about commercialization – i.e. getting those proto- type solutions widely spread into the marketplace. NEW Offering! Core Sectors – Health & Wellness, Energy & Sustainable Cities, Education & Creativity, Future Commerce, Civic Engagement, and other innovations ranging in scale from Smart Phones to Smart Cities.
