| Title: | “Eco innovation as a driver for a circular economy” |
| Abstract: |
Sustainable consumption and production present a particular difficulty problem in the 21st century, taking into account growing inequality and poverty. Can circular economy and eco innovation play a role in sustainable economic development? What is the role of the private sector? Insights on the scope and types of eco innovation will be provided with a glimpse on the stakeholder collaboration practices in entrepreneurial environment and possible challenges. |

Masterclass (in English) by: Wynand Bodewes, Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship |
| Title: | "Corporate Entrepreneurship" |
| Abstract: | Many are intrigued to learn how established firms (from medium-sized to multi-nationals) can do new business creation the start-up way. Some see corporate entrepreneurship as a more cost effective approach of innovation. Others feel that the unleashing of entrepreneurial drive brings a dynamic that could make the firm a more appealing place to work. In my talk I will introduce effectuation, a view on doing new business creation as enacted by entrepreneurs, which seems to be the opposite of how large organizations have institutionalized their innovation function. Using recent insights on effectuation I will present tactics used by start-ups to do new business creation that also could be used to foster corporate entrepreneuring. And believe me, I will not recommend the writing of business plans or business cases . . . |

Masterclass (in Dutch) by: Ger Jonkergouw, lecturer on Ecosystem Development at MSM |
| Title: | “How do you develop an ecosystem required for major social transformations"? like the hodrogen transition? |
| Abstract: |
Major transformations require entrepreneurial governments, socially driven citizens, knowledge institutions and companies. The hydrogen / energy transition is a good example: it requires cooperation in a learning ecosystem based on mission-oriented strategies. However, this requires ecosystem learning processes, with ecosystem knowledge and ecosystem skills. All in all, the energy transition also requires an ecosystem academy. |
