AI and entrepreneurship education, with a focus on social entrepreneurship
was held online on Monday 9 September from 14.00 - 17.00 CET
Focus
This Workshop - Webinar aims to provide valuable insights into the integration of AI in sustainable entrepreneurship education and its role in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, particularly within the realm of social entrepreneurship.
In recent years, a number of AI-driven tools and platforms have been developed with the objective to enhance inclusive personalised learning and education, with ChatGPT being the most recent but very impactful player in the field. This technology not only has the potential to equip future entrepreneurs with innovative technical skills needed for the digital age but also fosters a mindset geared towards innovations related to sustainability. Moreover, AI technology itself provides powerful means for new and innovative solutions in many fields. By leveraging AI, educational institutions can therefore cultivate a new generation of entrepreneurs who are adept at using technology to drive positive and inclusive change in their communities and beyond.
Our distinguished speakers, including Doan Winkel, Hans Jørgen Wiberg, and Thorsten Schwarz, will share their expertise and experiences, offering a comprehensive view of the current landscape and future possibilities of including AI into sustainable entrepreneurship education with a focus on inclusive solutions. Join us for an afternoon of enlightening presentations, engaging discussions, and collaborative idea generation.
