In the past years, CBS has shown a lot of interest in this particular area and concentrated all entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives and activities at CBS under one umbrella, the Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship.

The entire Øresund Region has experienced an increase of 23 percent in the number of courses offered.
