We must improve this university’s ability to provide students with the opportunity to be an entrepreneur. In whatever discipline they would like to work, entrepreneurship is our priority.

– Key Quote: “Education is supposed to follow change because we are part of the culture. Nowadays we don’t just make our graduates hold a degree, we expect them to become professional leaders, entrepreneurs, and scientists. They should be at least one of these things but, if possible, I would like them to be all three. For example, if they have an invention they would be able to commercialise it, and set up and lead a company around it.”
