Key Discussion Points
The role of entrepreneurs and the ecosystem that supports them is even more important as the pace of change accelerates. The challenges of the pandemic and global warming highlight the importance of capturing value from technology and the innovators who create novel and effective solutions. How do we as entrepreneurship and innovation educators best prepare the next generation? What is the role of the university in helping us do this?
About Event
The Role of Educators and the University in Building Sustainable and Innovative Ecosystems
The Lean Innovation Educators Summit is designed to model the methodologies we teach, as we conduct beneficiary discovery with our fellow Lean LaunchPad educators to improve our courses. A key aspect of teaching the Lean LaunchPad methodology is encouraging students to “get out of the classroom” and talk to others. That’s exactly what we as Lean educators strive to do ourselves at the Summit.
By engaging with leaders from around the world in entrepreneurship, academia, investing, and government we are able to recognize the emerging trends in business models, innovation, and technology. These learnings can ultimately be translated into opportunities for our students.
In addition to improving our own teaching methodologies, this platform allows us to address and incorporate pressing social issues into our courses. We continue to incorporate information and resources on the economic recovery from the pandemic, the opportunities to serve under-resourced communities through entrepreneurship, and the critical need to expand diversity, equity, and inclusion within entrepreneurship.
