To create a research environment on the topic of digital entrepreneurship in order to exchange ideas and identify research gaps to form teams for future studies.
To link theory to practice and set up a collaborative network between the public and private sector and academia to identify areas for projects and research.
As ICTs increasingly become embedded in our daily lives and organizational processes, they also become inextricably linked to our policies, organizational strategies and collaborative networks between the public and private sectors. This was a multi-disciplinary research forum that explores theories and case studies to enrich research activities on the topic and potentially contribute to practice.
The areas of the forum included: how digital business ecosystems are shaped by local contexts, how these ecosystems support the global scaling of startups and the nature of collaborative networks between various sectors to support these startups.
The forum’s format included: keynotes, research presentations, thematic plenaries and a stakeholder consultation roundtable. The number of attendees was 80 from different disciplines.
