STARTS in MOTION
Group session on Open Source, entrepreneurship and social good
Online
One more group session for teams working with Open Source models
Update: the June 16th session is postponed to July 6th, 5pm CEST. No need for registering again if already done.
This week, the teams of STARTS in MOTION will continue working on their business model.
This session will explore open source and the impact of open source on business and social good. We will see that Open Source is NOT a business model, rather a philosophy, and will discuss ways open source software companies make money. Open source is NOT only software anymore and we will explore its impact on business, social innovation and social entrepreneurship.
This group session is a starting point to work further with some of the teams, during one-to-one sessions, who need to improve this aspect to develop further their project.
Agenda:
5:00 – 5:30: Presentation
5:30 – 6:00: Q&A
