This paper describes a study model that was used to create a more efficient way of learning
to develop an entrepreneurial mindset of the students and graduates, in response to industry
needs, and it involved use of web-based tools. Web based team and project learning, with
the collaboration with food industry, is a motivating learning method for the present diginative
generation. The engagement of industry and their feedback on industry needs, pedagogical
strategy framework developed with critical learning points and digital methods used helped
to create entrepreneurial mindset of students, increased the motivation for students to learn
to use new tools, and to learn faster and in a more economical way. Also those who were
not willing to learn the use of new tools, were activated by other team members. The
learning method was beneficial not only to students but also the future employers of the
students, as it provided a window to develop and show the student talent to work in real life
(industry) context. The team work of lecturers increases also the quality of supervision of
the students.
