This will be the first time that CEF has hosted an external workshop. Moving away from academia, CEF Workshop 25 will bring together entrepreneurs, research and creativity at the Zeughausareal Uster. How can market requirements be balanced with visions for the future? How can creative ideas be transformed into tangible value and viable strategies? The approaches of creative entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial creatives are closer than you might think.
