Entrepreneurship is the art of recognition and exploitation of opportunities. it is valuable within organisations as well as in the establishment of new ventures. Discovering entrepreneurial opportunities requires that individuals not only possess knowledge, but that they also have the cognitive abilities that allow them to value and exploit that knowledge.

Furthermore working for a start-up or a scale-up before launching its own company can be a valuable choice. However, if you want to shine from the start, this does require a specific mindset and some specialised skills.
