In this episode, Prof Dr Dietmar Grichnik, Vice-President for Innovation & Quality and Professor of Entrepreneurship and Technology Management at the University of St.Gallen, provides insights into the exciting world of start-ups. He is convinced that innovation is within all of us and that we just need to tap into it. But starting a business always means taking risks. This is precisely the crux of the matter: innovation, uncertainty and value creation are the central pillars of a successful start-up.
The question of ‘why’ is also crucial. Those who recognise a purpose or want to solve a specific problem draw energy and motivation from it. Prof. Dr. Grichnik can assure us of one thing: starting a business is enjoyable and helps founders shape their own identity.
The University of St.Gallen offers a wide range of programmes and initiatives to support and encourage founders on their journey.
This episode encourages you to take your own idea seriously and take the first step.
