Promoting Entrepreneurship Lessons Learnt from Research on Corporate Entrepreneurship

"Promoting Entrepreneurship: Lessons Learnt from Research" is the platform that connects researchers, entrepreneurs, innovation managers and investors to discuss and explore how entrepreneurship research can drive successful high-quality business ventures and corporate innovation.
Corporate entrepreneurship is key to enabling established companies to innovate, stay competitive, and respond to market changes effectively. It promotes a culture of agility, fosters innovation from within, and can lead to the development of new products, services, or processes. The Esade Entrepreneurship Institute (EEI) aims at nourishing and promoting corporate entrepreneurship bringing the lessons learnt from academic research.
Let's explore the synergy between research and successful innovation and entrepreneurship.
