Session 1: Promote entrepreneurship and nontechnical support to SMEs
16th October at 9:40-11:10 and 11:30-13:00
Promote entrepreneurship and non-technical support to SMEs: success stories and new opportunities
16th October at 9:40-11:10 and 11:30-13:00
The main goal of this workshop is to show the participants (i) a collection of success stories from entrepreneurs in the interactive robotics field and (ii) present to new entrepreneurs new innovation models and tools. During the workshop will be presented success stories of SMEs, new economic approaches and tools employed by start-ups and emerging companies in the field of Interactive Robotics.
Session 2: Promote debate on legal, ethics & socio-economical aspects
Debate on legal, ethics & socio-economic aspects
16th October at 15:00-16:30 and 17:00-18:30
This workshop will focus on ethical, legal and socio-economic concerns in order to share views with the participants and, together with their contributions, be able to better describe, in a more comprehensive manner, the current state of the art. Upon this experience, we will find out how to improve each agent’s behaviour in an uncertain future.
