Let’s talk about
Entrepreneurial Mindset

A new format to look beyond patterns and shape possible futures

The road to create a new business is not always easy. The entrepreneur has to give shape to his or her intuitions and is often confronted with reality and numerous obstacles along the way. But if we look at successful entrepreneurs, is it possible to identify a lowest common denominator in their thinking or behavior?

What if there was a codified formula to create a future entrepreneurial class?

At the sixth illimity talk, in collaboration with the Herbert Simon Society, Corrado Passera, founder and CEO of illimity, and Saras D. Sarasvathy, professor of strategy, entrepreneurship and ethics at Darden (University of Virginia), will talk about how it is possible to engage the younger generation in cultivating and developing an entrepreneurial spirit and mindset.

Please note that the talk will be conducted exclusively in English.
