This lecture explores the entrepreneurial journey from idea generation to real-world implementation, combining personal experience with established innovation frameworks such as Design Thinking, Lean Startup, and Effectuation theory. Drawing from practical experience in building a technology-driven venture addressing societal challenges, the session illustrates how an initial observation of a problem can evolve into a structured and scalable company. The lecture demonstrates how innovation begins with deepproblem understanding (Design Thinking), advances by leveraging available resources and strategic partnerships (Effectuation), and develops through structured experimentation and iterative validation (Lean Startup).A central part of the session will examine how Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) function as strategic experiments: bridging theory and real-world validation. This perspective is particularly relevant for Master's and PhD students seeking to translate research insights, technological developments, or scientific discoveries into implementable and scalable solutions.
