Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders Business & Entrepreneurship Purdue University Program Agenda Brief Institute Overview To this day Purdue University is driven by its original mandate under the 1862 Morrill Land Grant Act to teach agriculture and the "mechanic arts” – or, in today’s words, “engineering.” Purdue is known throughout the world for its excellent business programs and its focus on commercialization; last year alone, 40 start ups were incubated at Purdue, 25 of which were based on Purdue intellectual property and Purdue ranks sixteenth in the world for the number of university U.S. utility patents. Purdue’s Mandela Washington Fellowship Institute seeks to empower and equip Fellows with new skills to become more effective entrepreneurs, with a focus on agriculture and engineering. Structurally, each week of the institute will embody a different business and entrepreneurship theme that builds upon the prior week’s themes and then culminates in a final week of pitches, presentations, and reporting of learning outcomes. Integrating the institute’s sub-themes of agriculture and engineering, each week will also have a distinct technical theme related to agricultural and engineering innovations and business opportunities Institute Objectives and Goals Develop a shared understanding of the group’s strengths, weaknesses, and create a strong esprit de corps; Review basic business and entrepreneurship principles; Develop a business plan following the LaunchBox curriculum; Explore challenges and opportunities with regard to agricultural and engineering innovation, including post-harvest, food processing, agricultural mechanization, bioenergy, manufacturing, and information and communication technologies; Refine and demonstrate presentation delivery skills; and Develop an understanding of the interconnectedness of business, agriculture, engineering, and environmental and social sustainability. This program agenda will provide information on what you will be doing while in the United States. This includes academic sessions, site visits, community service activities, and cultural experiences that will expand your current knowledge about U.S. approaches to Business and Entrepreneurship. It is expected that you will bring your personal expertise on the realities in your communities into the program and
