The University of Luxembourg and the FFCEL is organising a panel discussion on COLLABORATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP: BOOSTING LUXEMBOURG’S ECONOMY on Tuesday 8 March 2016 from 18:00 at the Chambre de Commerce in Luxembourg-Kirchberg.
Social networks, crowdfunding, co-working, sharing economy, participatory management… Collaborative management is becoming a leitmotiv in today’s business world. In a highly globalized and competitive environment, new ways of doing business emerge and constitute a real paradigm shift.
Collaborative entrepreneurship is increasingly presented as a necessity as well as a tool for economic success.
But how does collaborative entrepreneurship work? How do you find and select good business partners ? How do you develop long-term collaborations in a constantly changing context? What role can and should business networks play? What kind of support do entrepreneurs need in order to create and develop business collaborations?
The panel discussion moderator will be Ms. CORDELIA CHATON, journalist at Lëtzebuerger Journal. Translations in French and English available.
