Entrepreneurs are characterized by the fact that they implement ideas and make a difference. Young entrepreneurs can do this through their work in an existing private company or a public or non-profit institution. They are creative, innovative and constantly develop their company further. Today, such people are often referred to as entrepreneurs in order to distinguish them from mere company administrators.

The aim of promoting entrepreneurial activity in all areas of society is at the heart of this thematic focus. The focus is on the two main research areas of private entrepreneurship and public entrepreneurship. Taking responsibility and striving for sustainability are also components of entrepreneurial activity. For this reason, corporate responsibility permeates both research areas and should lead to a responsible attitude.
