Conference contributions
The conference is aimed at the regional, national and international network of HM/SCE, the UAS7 university network of leading German Universities of Applied Sciences and the eBridge Alliance of international universities and incubators.
The virtual conference will focus on practice-oriented dialogue and interaction between subject area experts and a wider audience with an interest in entrepreneurship (e.g. students, start-ups). A range of opportunities for digital interaction and participation will facilitate this.
