FINDER | Fostering Innovation Networks in a Digital Era

Summary
This European Industrial Doctorate partnership entitled “Fostering Innovation Networks in a Digital Era” (FINDER) will prepare a new generation of business and entrepreneurship researchers who will contribute to the development of innovative ecosystems in a digital era, leveraging the academic and industry expertise of both organisations, and developing their research capabilities to trigger innovative aptitude that transcend beyond the boundaries of the financial services to other - currently less digitally savvy sectors and less affluent stakeholders – as example of inclusive innovation. The proposal addresses the way that networks of entrepreneurship can be fostered through activities and initiatives driven by large organisations in a manner that engages small FinTech start-ups as drivers of future innovation. To achieve this goal the early stage researchers (ESRs) in FINDER will be trained by prominent specialists (academic and non-academic) in the relevant fields within FINDER, with Radboud University, the Netherlands, as prime academic research institution, and Atos, a leading European information technology company, as prime business partner. Both institutions operate at the forefront of collaborative and innovative research and practice, as well as training and inspiring the next generation of business and entrepreneurship researchers and entrepreneurs in the domain of inclusive innovation. They are joined by three Fintech Start-ups from Europe, Canada and the USA, respectively: NGDATA, Voleo Inc. and Moven.
