PROGRAMME

As last time, we have chosen to bring together business managers and business developers, but during the meeting there will be separate tracks for each target group. We are running in the course centre and from lunch to lunch this time. Everything to create a good place for learning and reflection.

One of the highlights this time is that we get to listen in on the comparative study that Rasmus Rahm from the Stockholm School of Economics and the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship has done on seven different national incubator systems (Sweden, USA, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, France and Spain).

For business developers, there will be an extra focus on:

• How to better manage collaboration with and inflow from innovation offices and academia? Cases and presentations from Chalmers Ventures, Ideon and LEAD.
• How to increase the inflow of female founders? Cases and presentations from Borås INK, Founders Loft and Create, which are some of those that are high on the lists regarding this in InkRapp.

And of course, the latest news from Vinnova and the National Incubator Programme (NIP), as well as a focus on the SISP member survey and advocacy work.
