IBP supports internships in own startup in connection with CSE. 

This requires an agreement with CSE, which follows a separate application process - for more information see:https://cse.cbs.dk/internship-with-ects/

Following an agreement with CSE an application must be sent in for pre-approval and registration of the internship with the Study Board as with any other internship.
