Prof. Ketikidis commented: “It’s time to act and move towards scale-up companies instead of startups. Every business has potential for growth and development, but some of them need to make radical changes in their business model. It is definitely the time to put emphasis on the duration of innovation and development. ICEIRD 2018 moved towards that direction and so will future ICEIRD conferences.”
