Contribution pédagogique du cours au programme
Aucune contribution pédagogique associé à ce cours pour ce programme.Descriptif
This module aims to provide a seamless integration of academic conceptual foundations and applied experiences. The module can be considered in two blocks; The first block focuses on early-stage, entrepreneurial finance where the candidates are introduced to company formation, equity splitting and company valuation. Included in this will be an examination of the role investors play in nudging founders teams to dynamically reassess their relative ownership positions. This block will examine the role of angel investors, corporate accelerators and incubator structures and their interaction with the financing decision. In the second block, the focus will be on financing models and their associated bottlenecks when undertaking changes in energy, food and transport systems. Candidates will develop an appreciation of the structures used to finance change - from sometimes wholly private instruments within the category of sustainable finance to large-scale infrastructure projects financed via public-private partnerships.Organisation pédagogique
