About DUARISU

EVERY DECISION OPENS A NEW DOOR

DUARISU is a Scottish Government–funded simulation exploring the future of entrepreneurship. Built on the Vincesius decision engine, it places participants inside a fast-moving innovation ecosystem shaped by cyber disruption, fintech systems, energy transformation, artificial intelligence, and the power of new ideas.

Experience entrepreneurship

Participants don’t just learn about entrepreneurship — they experience it. Taking on different roles within the simulation, they navigate uncertainty, negotiate with stakeholders, and respond to unexpected challenges as they build and defend their ideas.

Every choice changes what happens next. Opportunities appear, systems shift, and new paths open. The simulation challenges participants to think creatively, collaborate under pressure, and discover what it really means to build something meaningful in a complex world.

Built in collaboration

DUARISU was developed by the Vincesisu team at the University of Strathclyde in collaboration with educators, designers, technologists, and external partners working across entrepreneurship, innovation, and simulation design. Our partner for this work was Edinburgh College

DUARISU is was funded by the Scottish Government Pathways Fund
