In the first in a mini-series, Claudia Zucca (one of our #DataimpactFellows), Plato Leung and Werner Liebregts introduce a dynamic approach to teaching data-driven entrepreneurship in the Netherlands.
The Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS) is a young and dynamic institute, born by joining the efforts of Tilburg University (TiU) and the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Being the america rcs data second campus for both universities, it is about an hour away from Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Antwerp (Belgium), and Aachen (Germany).
JADS is located in the Brainport region in the Netherlands, the innovation region with the highest patenting density in the world. This is demonstrated by the presence of companies like ASML, Philips and SAP, with whom JADS collaborates intensively.
At JADS, students attend a two-year master’s program Data Science and Entrepreneurship, training them in the application of data science to real-life business problems as well as the creation of new entrepreneurial ventures.
