22nd International Entrepreneurship Forum

The 22nd International Entrepreneurship Forum will be hosted by Özyeğin University this year from September 14th to 16th, under the theme “Entrepreneurship, Values and Wellbeing in the Age of AI”.

We are thrilled to bring the conference back to Istanbul through the collaboration of Özyeğin University Faculty of Business and Center for Entrepreneurship, following its 9th edition held in Istanbul back in 2009.

The 22nd International Entrepreneurship Forum conference will provide a platform for scholarly, practitioner, and policy perspectives to deepen our understanding and analysis of how AI is transforming entrepreneurial ecosystems. We aim to do this not only with reference to technological complexities but also to the growing levels of economic, and social uncertainty, the scrutiny of values and what all that means for human flourishing and economic, organisational, and social development.

The conference will explore six key themes: 

1. AI as a Transformational Catalyst for Entrepreneurial Opportunity.
2. Entrepreneurial Adaptation and Co-Evolution with AI,  Technological Change and economic and social uncertainties.  
3. Individual and Organisational Wellbeing and Entrepreneurial Resilience to climate, economic and social change, the fragmentation of institutions and polarisation of communities.
4. Gendering Entrepreneurship in the Age of AI - Opportunities, Inclusion and Support. 
5. Entrepreneurial Ethics and Values in the Age of AI.
6. Societal Wellbeing and the Broader Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in an Era of Unprecedented Uncertainty.
