Sciencepreneurship : Science, Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Economic Growth, Hardback Book

Sciencepreneurship : Science, Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Economic Growth Hardback

Part of the Emerald Points series

Hardback

Description

In Sciencepreneurship, author Piero Formica explores the symbiotic relationship between science, entrepreneurship, and sustainable economic growth.

He argues that like artists, writers and educators, scientists and entrepreneurs foster social progress and provide opportunities to advance sustainable and environmentally friendly economic development. Innovative and future thinking entrepreneurs play a special role in the advancement of science and technology.

They help guide scientific discoveries into our daily lives and reveal new opportunities for social innovation as they exploit the discoveries that scientists make of the natural world.

Sciencepreneurship argues that forward-thinking scientific entrepreneurs are well placed to take advantage of recent breakthroughs ranging from genetic sequencing to smartphone applications—innovations that have entered our lives at breakneck speed. Taking a transdisciplinary approach, which is one that integrates the natural, social and health sciences in a humanities context, Formica teaches readers, from academic researchers to engaged entrepreneurs, how to valorise science and entrepreneurship by designing a context of close, long-term interaction between the two.
