Article on "Tech Startups" published

We are pleased to announce the publication of the article entitled "How Can the BISE Community Promote Tech Startups?", written by Dennis M. Steininger, Steffi Haag, Christina Chase, Gesa Miczaika, Kathrin Möslein, Rüdiger Zarnekow and Joris van Bohemen, in the journal "Business and Information Systems Engineering".

The discussion builds on a panel held at the virtual 17th International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI) 2022 that discussed how the BISE community – in addition to universities’ efforts – could (better) promote tech startups tackling grand challenges. In particular, the following questions were raised:

• How do you, the BISE community, or your university currently promote startups? How do startups benefit from those activities?

• What could we do better? What can the BISE community specifically offer? What could startups do to improve the relationship?

• How can we leverage synergies between the BISE community, universities, startups, and investors to jointly solve large and complex societal issues?

This discussion brings together the perspectives of researchers, founders, entrepreneurs, and investors from different backgrounds and institutions. The five panelists – Christina Chase, Gesa Miczaika, Kathrin Möslein, Dennis Steininger, and Rüdiger Zarnekow – all have experience in either founding their own startup or promoting startups in the BISE field. Next, each panelist will provide their perspective on the questions raised above. In the end, the conclusion summarizes how the BISE community – in particular – can contribute to promoting tech startups.
