Stakeholder stream

Individual entrepreneurs

How entrepreneurs in different countries innovate and adapt when disruption hits, and what that costs them.

Lead: University of Warsaw

An entrepreneur at work in a small business.

Objectives

  • Understand what entrepreneurs need and expect when disruptive events hit — and what stimulates entrepreneurship, innovativeness and creativity in those conditions.
  • Learn how entrepreneurs think about their communities, and about digital innovation and respectfulness.
  • Test the relationship between digital resilience and survival through disruption.
  • Identify the obstacles that hold entrepreneurship back in disrupted environments, including gender-specific ones.
  • Set out how entrepreneurs' skills can be used well, including the ethical use of AI-based approaches.

What we will produce

  • An overall research design covering the methodology for the four stakeholder streams.
  • A typology of entrepreneurial strategies that work in an age of digitalised disruption.
  • An entrepreneurs' handbook collecting what entrepreneurs have learned first-hand.

How to contribute

Secondees on this stream help design the methodology, analyse data with colleagues from other institutions, co-author deliverables, and connect the findings back into the other work streams.
