According to a QS World University Rankings article, business schools are increasingly transforming academic research into practical, impactful ventures. These institutions are not only addressing real-world challenges but are also leveraging research to create spin-out businesses. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, they are shaping a new generation of entrepreneurial leaders.
Porto Business School exemplifies this trend through its strong focus on practical application. Every MBA student undertakes a capstone project, which serves as the culmination of months of rigorous learning across areas like strategy, logistics, marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship. These projects are a platform for students to translate their knowledge into actionable solutions, often leading to the creation of thriving start-ups.
Onedash: A Capstone Project with Impact
A shining example of this entrepreneurial spirit is Onedash, a platform that helps manage cybersecurity for SMEs. This capstone entrepreneurial project emerged in our Global Online MBA. Onedash demonstrates the transformative power of academic research when aligned with real-world challenges. Luís Pereira, CEO and founder of Onedash, shared how Porto Business School's incubator and expert mentorship shaped the success of his venture:
"The invaluable feedback and expertise of Porto Business School’s outstanding professors played a decisive role in shaping Onedash into what it is today."
By fostering innovation and practical application, Porto Business School continues to enable students to turn academic insights into transformative ventures.
