Abstract
"A crisis is a terrible thing to waste." Paul Romer.
The Data Driven Entrepreneurship programme (DDE) is encouraging students, academic colleagues and the business community to take entrepreneurial pathways.
Over 400 science companies will emerge from this full-stack approach to business creation, taking the most pressing societal problems as opportunities for an enhanced new normal. PhD and Postdocs can enter DDE through the Open Innovation Challenge. In our age of accelerating technologies, PhDs are launching the sector-defining companies that industry incumbents cannot. The Open Innovation Challenge is your opportunity to take the University of Edinburgh's world-class research from the class into the world.
