We at IDEASCANNER love making things measurable quickly. We were wondering what our current carbon footprint looks like! Our friends at Leaders for Climate Action have created a set of simple tools which allow you to take action in less than 5 minutes. You can see the difference when you switch your household to green energy, saving not just CO2 emissions but money too. Check here. Each of us can make a difference, every day. Join us now. Stay tuned for the Leaders for Climate Action Campaign with IDEASCANNER on Earth Day 2022 and follow us on LinkedIn.

Testing business ideas, providing tools and network is a good start to help founders.

The Science4Life business plan competition gives young founders from life sciences, chemistry and energy the chance to have their technology-oriented business idea or their already founded start-up put through its paces.

The award ceremony for the best business concepts will take place online on March 17, 2022, 5:30 pm. The guest speaker will be Prof. Dr. Tobias Kollmann. The holder of the Chair of Digital Business and Digital Entrepreneurship at the University of Duisburg-Essen will talk about “The Startup Zoo – Why we don’t just need Unicorns!”.

Melanie Stütz from IDEASCANNER was at the launch event for the latest report of “The Missing Entrepreneurs 2021” organized by the OECD, European Commission and Global Entrepreneurship Network. See how “missing entrepreneurs” are costing economies ideas, innovation and jobs and watch the video here.

Together we can close the gap of missing entrepreneurs. With IDEASCANNER, we create entrepreneurs. We democratize the knowledge of successful venture capitals (VCs) by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). With our digital tool, we empower entrepreneurs to evaluate and improve ideas within minutes. We help governments close the skill gap in entrepreneurship.

Because: “Not everyone has an equal opportunity to transform their ideas into a business. There could be an additional 9 million people starting and managing new business in the European Union (EU) – and 35 million across OECD countries – if everyone was as active in business creation as core age men (30-49 years old). This would be 50% more people engaged in early-stage entrepreneurship in the EU and 40% more in OECD countries. About three-quarters of these “missing” entrepreneurs are women, half are over 50 years old and one-in-eight are under 30 years old.”, so the latest report. Download it now here for free.
