<p class="MsoNormal">The conference provides an international opportunity for scientific discussion and collaboration on a broad range of relevant areas associated with recent trends in innovation and entrepreneurship. In past years, there is a growing recognition
in the business environment of the key role played by innovation and entrepreneurship. In a dynamic environment the capacity and necessary attitude for creating new firms is fundamental and the probability of success is largely determined by innovation and
entrepreneurial thinking. At the same time there is a growing recognition of the need for more sustainable innovation, combining economic, ecologic and social aspects. These challenges, combined with limited internal resources, high risk factors and complexity
enhance (social) networking in innovation and entrepreneurship. At the same time, policy makers face important challenges to stimulate and provide the necessary means for innovation and entrepreneurship.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We therefore invite academics and people in the field of policy making to present their research and to share their experiences in a broad range of areas related to the new trends in innovation and entrepreneurship.
