Dear colleagues and friends,
Join us at AOM Copenhagen for the PDW on AI & entrepreneurship! We bring together leading scholars to discuss how AI is reshaping the way entrepreneurs learn, experiment, and grow-and how evaluators assess ideas, teams, and potential.
This PDW focuses on two core themes:
- Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: How Do Entrepreneurs and Evaluators Learn?
- The Role of AI in Enhancing Ecosystem Support: How Do Experimentations Inform Learning?
Together, we will examine how entrepreneurs and evaluators learn from feedback, advice, and structured programs like accelerators, as well as how AI can augment problem formulation, experimentation, and learning in entrepreneurial contexts.
Date & Time: Saturday, July 26, 2025 | 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM Location: Bella Center in Hall D- D4-m3
