    From the Alps to Africa
    Local pathways to entrepreneurship and transformation with Erik Stam, Professor of Strategy, Organization and Entrepreneurship at Utrecht University School of Economics

    Date: 08-09.07.2026, DAY 1: 18:00-20:00 | Day 2: 14:00-17:30
    Place: Free University of Bozen-Bolzano & Eurac Research
    Info: The event at Eurac Research can be attended either in person or online.

    The two events, jointly organized by Eurac Research and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (unibz), will focus on two distinct topics that reflect these contexts. The first explores the entrepreneurial ecosystem of South Tyrol and the factors that shape and sustain regional entrepreneurship. The second asks: What does entrepreneurship look like when communities define it for themselves? Drawing on examples from Africa, the discussion will consider what communities in South Tyrol and elsewhere can learn from locally driven approaches to entrepreneurship and development.
