About the program
Join Siemens Stiftung on a journey where the dynamic worlds of human-centred design and social entrepreneurship converge to redefine innovation.
Delve into the principles of human-centred design, learn how to empathise with end-users to craft solutions that resonate with their needs and aspirations. Human-centred design is a powerful approach that puts the user at the heart of product development and business strategies.
This approach allows professionals and entrepreneurs to create products that genuinely cater to user needs, preferences, and pain points, resulting in higher user satisfaction, higher adoption rates, and an increasing market fit of the product.
Discover how these empathetic insights fuel the engine of social entrepreneurship, empowering you to create or apply sustainable solutions that address pressing social and ecological challenges with innovative ideas.
Whether you are running an innovative social venture or are part of an impact oriented enterprise. Your expertise in social entrepreneurship enables you to develop and communicate your key vision and mission, supported by impact data. This empowers you to make a tangible difference in the
world.
