"The Era of Responsible by Design Startups”
“If the success criteria for startups have changed, the reference methods for entrepreneurship have evolved little. The Responsible Entrepreneurship by Design approach aims to address the strong need for support expressed by entrepreneurs for help integrating responsibility into their practices, right from the construction of their model.”
