What are Simulated Enterprises?

It is an interactive learning method that aims to develop the entrepreneurial spirit, through the integration and interdisciplinary application of knowledge that provides conditions for the practical deepening of the skills acquired by students in professional training. The purpose of this teaching method is to develop students’ business skills, by simulating the processes and activities that take place in a real company and its relationships with other companies and institutions.

The simulated enterprise facilitates the learning and development of the necessary economic and legal knowledge in a real firm, forming skills and competencies that can be applied in all economic fields and in all positions within an enterprise.

The implementation of the concept of “simulated enterprise” aims to create the model of dynamic entrepreneur, able to develop a new production process, to bring to market a new product or service or to discover a new distribution path.
