Rethinking Entrepreneurship Education for the Other 99%
Prof. Dr. Nils Högsdal
This workshops challenges the prevailing focus of entrepreneurship education on high-growth, venture-capital-driven models. We look for a broader and more inclusive understanding that reflects diverse entrepreneurial paths, including lifestyle, creative, and social entrepreneurship. Drawing on empirical data and international best practices, it analyze gender and social biases in current programs and work on broader approaches for making entrepreneurship education more accessible to all students.
