Abstract
BOTSA is an innovative teaching method for students with technical background in the field of sustainable energy technologies and an interest in entrepreneurship. Two core features of this method, namely the connection between a technological analysis and a business case as well as the involvement of clients and business coaches, are explored in this paper. Case studies and results of evaluations among students who used this method to analyze their technological innovation are used to demonstrate the value of these two features and consequently the method as a whole.
