The School of Business is introducing a new Entrepreneurship Series, which kicks off with a presentation on “Aegean start-ups: Demand-driven, Social Responsive Digital Entrepreneurship”, by Yannis Charalabidis, Associate Professor, University of the Aegean, Greece. 

In a world where the toughest problem for new startups is market traction and avoidance of the “valley of death”, demand-driven entrepreneurship can provide new ways for creating new enterprises directly targeted to existing companies’ needs. This way, digital entrepreneurs can provide services to existing businesses, generating wealth while also assisting the local economies and societies in a non-disruptive way. After analyzing the relevant barriers and challenges for digital entrepreneurs, the presentation elaborates on the methodology and operation of the Aegean Startups early-stage incubator, distributed in several islands of the Greek Archipelago, with an aim to provide opportunities for new entrepreneurs and assist local development.
