• Industry and Competitor Analysis
• IPR and legal
• Getting financing and/or funding

The busi-ness ideas/opportunities should be concepts or new business ideas which can be ana-lyzed for feasibility and worked on, modified, or potentially discarded and replaced, throughout the course, leading to an outline of the business and implementation plan for the opportunity finally selected, which is presented at the exam with a recommendation on how to proceed with the idea and bring it to market, covering all the intended learning outcomes listed above.
