2014: LABEX ENTREPRENDRE AT THE HEART OF THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM

University of Montpellier

Entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability

In its third year of operati ons, Labex Entreprendre further strengthened its relati onships within the entrepreneurial and innovati on ecosystem. Labex has emerged as a team that both nati onal and regional economic policymakers consult, a think tank that generates thought-provoking analyses, and a promotor of entrepreneurial initi ati ves and innovati on.

Its major focus conti nues to produce knowledge about entre-preneurship and innovati on from its unique positi oning at the intersecti on of law, economy and management. 2014 thus saw intensifi cati on in research, parti cularly in the form of na-ti onal or internati onal observatories.

Much of the knowledge produced by Labex Entreprendre is highly original and has not only been published in major jour-nals but has also been presented to businesses and govern-ments through events bringing together researchers and practi ti oners.

Promoti on and training also conti nue to be prioriti es, in line with the requirements defi ned within the Investment in the Future Programs, and in partnership with the SATT AxLR (Technology Transfer Accelerator) SME managers have been off ered training through our Executi ve training program, es-pecially on the theme of growth. Support for entrepreneur-ship is no longer simply a research topic for Labex Entre-prendre, but has become one of its key acti viti es. Three academic spin-off projects are now underway and are expec-ted to give rise in the coming months to new innovati ng com-panies.

Through all these acti ons, Labex Entreprendre has become a key element in driving entrepreneurship and innovati on in our region.

STRATEGY AND ORGANIZATION

Labex Entreprendre has a clear mission: to build and communicate knowledge about entrepreneurship

at the intersection of the legal, economic and management.

Labex Entreprendre is committ ed to investi ng in the future. This collaborati ve project was fi rst evaluated by an internati onal jury in 2011 (fi rst call for projects) and it asso-ciates fi ve research teams in law, economics and management (Labor Law Labora-tory, Private Law Laboratory, Montpellier Research in Management, UMR LAMETA and UMR MOISA). The project is a natural extension of a long traditi on of research in entrepreneurship and innovati on that has been recognized both nati onally and inter-nati onally.

The Labex Entreprendre themes are closely related to issues of innovati on, growth and sustainable development. They are addressed through our programs of research, training and promoti on. Moreover, all our acti ons have both local and internati onal signifi cance. The six Labex chairs contribute immeasurably to sti mulati ng and coordi-nati ng these acti ons. The Entreprendre chairs have facilitated contacts with local actors through the organizati ons of meeti ngs and training sessions. The chairs have also shown great commitment to seeing that Labex Entreprendre receives interna-ti onal recogniti on for its work.
