Partners
The industry is our living lab!
We aim to make learning on entrepreneurial behavior and the application of design thinking a joint learning activity. You as organization, we as researchers and students without blinders will all learn from collaborating around your challenges.
Therefore, we seek to collaborate with organizations that aim to translate their strategic visions into reality by the application of entrepreneurial processes and designerly approaches. If you are interested, please contact Frido Smulders.
Below are the organizations we presently collaborate with and with whom we have collaborated in the past.
