• Overview:

Flanders Business School (FBS) concentrates its activities in three key areas:

• Executive Master of Business Administration with focus on Entrepreneurship

Flanders Business School is the only school in Belgium offering the "Executive MBA with Focus on Entrepreneurship." FBS launched this master after master program in 2000, and since then has been building up expertise in this specialist area via its research center ILC² and via intensive innovation programs in businesses.

• In-Company Executive Education

Entrepreneurship is the life force of businesses that want to safeguard their market position. Often a latent presence, it's necessary to guide an organization so that the entrepreneurial potential within it gets the chances and tools to fully unfold. So arises within existing businesses, not only a broad platform for initiatives that carry real opportunities within them, but also a platform from which new streams of income can be developed. Usually this results in new ventures: projects that flourish under the wings of the existing company. Flanders Business School mentors businesses to attain this goal.

• The Intrapreneurial Learning Competence Center (ILC²)

Flanders Business School programs are able to draw on cutting-edge research from the Intrapreneurial Learning Competence Center (ILC²) that is centered on Entrepreneurship, Corporate Entrepreneurship, Organizational Learning and Innovation. Access to this unique research sets FBS apart from the rest.

• Executive Master of Business Administration with focus on Entrepreneurship

Flanders Business School is the only school in Belgium offering the "Executive MBA with Focus on Entrepreneurship." FBS launched this master after master program in 2000, and since then has been building up expertise in this specialist area via its research center ILC² and via intensive innovation programs in businesses.

This is a two-year program and a residential course. Applicants need to prove they have three years of relevant work experience in order to be eligible for the course. Participants will follow a program consisting of 8 modules.

- In the first year, participants will explore the building blocks of a traditional MBA such as Finance, Strategy, Marketing and Human Resource Management. - The second year will bring entrepreneurship into practice. Participants bring a new business idea to the class and develop this opportunity into a viable business plan. Participants will conduct market research to create a solid foundation for their plan. - The MBA culminates in a Master Thesis, which consists of a well-founded business plan presented in a workshop-formula to a jury of venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, managers, and their fellow MBA participants.

• FBS-MBA students typically come from large businesses, which send high potential staff to FBS to learn how they can initiate new, profitable projects within the business. Students also come from SME that want to initiate growth, and from family-run businesses where successors need to be able to take the business to the next, higher level.

• FBS is located in Antwerp and works closely with the renowned Kellogg School of Management in Chicago. Amongst other subjects, FBS-MBA students take a module in Global Entrepreneurship from the Kellogg School of Management.
