At INNOVAE Business School, we believe education should be Free, Open, and Online for everyone. That’s why this degree is accessible to all — no tuition fees, no entry exams, no barriers.
The Bachelor of Digital Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Innovation is designed for those who want to build, launch, and scale digital businesses in the new economy — from online services, platforms, and content businesses, to SaaS, e-commerce, and global digital ventures.
This program equips you with the frameworks, tools, and mindset to go from idea to execution: validating problems, designing business models, building minimum viable products, attracting customers, optimizing funnels, and leading teams in fully digital environments — without financial or geographical limits.
At INNOVAE, we believe your ambition should not wait. Our accelerated program structure allows you to complete your degree in only two years, without sacrificing academic depth or quality. This means you can begin launching, testing, and scaling digital ventures sooner — converting learning into concrete products, services, customers, and revenue while you study.
Access 34 modules, 137 units, and 548 lessons — 100% online, open, and free
With INNOVAE, barriers to education no longer exist. You gain access to a comprehensive curriculum that covers every pillar of digital entrepreneurship — opportunity discovery, business models, lean startup, digital marketing, e-commerce, SaaS, automation, finance, and leadership — all at no cost. Study from anywhere and apply each concept directly to your own projects or digital ventures.
Learn through microlearning: short, flexible lessons that adapt to your lifestyle
We designed our curriculum around microlearning so you can move in focused sprints: validate a problem, design a landing page, map a funnel, test an offer, or improve onboarding — and implement it the same day. Learn during commutes, work breaks, or evenings, and build momentum with constant, practical progress.
Combine entrepreneurial thinking with execution frameworks
Every concept is tied to execution: problem–solution fit, product–market fit, growth experiments, funnel optimization, MRR modeling, churn reduction, customer journeys, and launch playbooks. Through cases and projects you’ll build a portfolio of real work — prototypes, landing pages, funnels, and strategic roadmaps — proving your ability to design and operate digital businesses.
