11th Conference of the Academy of Entrepreneurship and Innovation

From entrepreneurial emergence to business succession, including intrapreneurship and scalability, entrepreneurial activity is everywhere and permeates fields such as marketing, strategy, and finance. Long mistakenly confined to business creation, entrepreneurship has become a societal cause. While startups, scale-ups, and unicorns capture the imagination, what about the lifestyle entrepreneur, the tribal entrepreneur, the agricultural entrepreneur, the user-entrepreneur, the hyper-connected intrapreneur, and so on?
Doesn’t this diversity of entrepreneurial forms call for a rethinking of entrepreneurship—one that strengthens its theoretical foundations to better ensure its development and open up new possibilities?

Reexamine entrepreneurship to better rethink it. Discover new avenues for expressing entrepreneurial approaches. Explore new theories. Envision new research designs. Identify new challenges to tackle and new stakeholders to involve. Develop connections with other disciplines that enable a better understanding of entrepreneurship and its current developments.
This conference will thus provide an opportunity to reflect on what characterizes entrepreneurship today and the prospects opening up for tomorrow.
