Intrapreneurship: Innovating Within an Organization as a Scientist
Abstract
Intrapreneurship – the ability to develop and implement innovative ideas within an existing organization – is a key driver of progress in the scientific and industrial sectors. We will explore how scientists can become intrapreneurs by solving industry challenges, improving processes, and developing new technologies. The session will discuss essential intrapreneurial skills such as creative problem solving, cross-functional collaboration, project management, and persuasive communication.
