We live in challenging organizational times, in a constantly changing context. Organizations' employees must be increasingly ready to drive the innovation that these times require and find new solutions to the complex challenges they encounter. It is vital, in this context and regardless of the sector of activity, to understand the intersection between innovation, technology and entrepreneurship.
It is precisely from this creative and intentional fusion between innovation, technology and entrepreneurship that the InnoTechPreneurship concept emerges. More than an apparent trend or fashion, this concept has a very relevant and timely meaning, which allows Organizations to be equipped with practices and people that can respond to the challenges they encounter or even create new opportunities. These people are the
