20. Quo Vadis
• Programs will focus more on a balanced profile; wedge-
profile will turn more rectangular.
– Research and applied science programs ‘move’ on the
continuum.
• From a technical perspective, “Wedges” get steeper.
– Entrepreneurship in teams with complementary skills and
competences.
– Apple (Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak) and Microsoft (Bill
Gates and Paul Allen)
• Missing ‘exit phase’ of the entrepreneurial process will be
added to the educational programs
