It briefly describes the LbD model that integrates competence producing learning and an innovative research and development project. It then proceeds to introduce the didactic triangle of LbD in the entrepreneurial context, and concludes by introducing entrepreneurial learning, and by considering entrepreneurial education from LbD’s point of view.
