17. © Vlerick Business School BUILDING HUMAN CAPITAL FOR TOMORROW MY PERSPECTIVE ? (2)  “Teaching entrepreneurs” ? Executive education programs are typically funded by and focused on large organizations on behalf of their employees. As if entrepreneurs have no need for new knowledge, experience sharing, discussion with peers and all other results of education. In many respects entrepreneurs are more in need of personal development and support than corporate executives. 17

Of vital importance is the open dialogue between the various partners: academic (Vlerick Business School), Foundation Partners and entrepreneurs.
