There are many factors that play an important role in being a good entrepreneur. Leadership skills, business acumen, creativity … but how do you know if someone has the required skills to be a successful entrepreneur? How are all these factors measured?

Octoskills does just that, it measures the impact of education on the entrepreneurial skills of any student. Interesting, don’t you think?
