This new partnership aims to boost the European startup ecosystem by fostering innovation, research and collaboration between academia and industry experts. The collaboration focuses on FH JOANNEUM’s masters in Digital Entrepreneurship and Innovation, providing an academic perspective on entrepreneurship and innovation to complement the insights ESNA gathers from its existing stakeholders, including national Focal Points and its Advisory Board.
Christian Friedl, head of the master programme: ‘ESNA is committed to improving the start-up ecosystem at European level and regularly publishes policy reports and recommendations on this topic. It cooperates with several expert institutions that make valuable contributions to these reports. For us, this cooperation means increased visibility and a seal of quality.’
Corinna Engelhardt-Nowitzki, Rector (FH) and Scientific Managing Director of FH JOANNEUM, adds: “We are excited to partner with ESNA to contribute to the growth of startups and innovation in Europe. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering digital entrepreneurship and supporting the next generation of innovators.”
