Reversing the Arrow Conference

Greetings!

The Reversing the Arrow initiative asks how entrepreneurship affects society as a starting point for a transatlantic, transpacific and interdisciplinary academic debate. Our annual conference is an opportunity to review and exchange new perspectives on how our society is changing in the face of one of the most important social phenomena of our time — entrepreneurship.
