From September 27th to 29th – more than 250 researchers and practitioners gathered at this year’s G-Forum Interdisciplinary Conference on Entrepreneurship, Innovation and SMEs at Technische Universität Darmstadt, which was co-hosted by emergenCITY.
Prof. Dr. Carolin Bock and Prof. Dr. Alexander Kock organized the conference for the German-speaking community of passionate researchers and practitioners of the areas of entrepreneurship and innovation management. The community came together under this year’s conference topic “The Power of Resilience for Innovation and Entrepreneurship” and held thought-provoking presentations of latest research on entrepreneurship, innovation, and SMEs. Vice President for Innovation and International Affairs, Prof. Dr. Thomas Walther, welcomed the researchers warmly and Prof. Sophie Bacq gave inspirational insights on “Civic Wealth Creation as a Path to Resilience”.
