<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">At the Lucerne University, innovation and entrepreneurship is mostly promoted by a cross-departmental organization called Smartup (<u>[https://blog.hslu.ch/smart-up/) https://blog.hslu.ch/smart-up/)]</u>, which gives the students the tools to invent, build and spin-out their business idea. Furthermore, Smartup offers several open spaces where students have access to mentors, toolboxes and promotional events ([https://blog.hslu.ch/smart-up/angebot-2/angebot-fuer-studierende/) https://blog.hslu.ch/smart-up/angebot-2/angebot-fuer-studierende/)].
