ENTREPRENEURIAL DISCOVERY PROCESS Egbert Dommerholt & Derwin Schorren

The EDP is viewed as journey exploring new horizons. It is a movement involving many quadruple helix partners developing new products and exploring new markets through all kinds of cross pollination activities, creating networks, building new business models, exchanging ideas and transnationally linking these networks to other PERISCOPE partner regions ENTREPRENEURIAL DISCOVERY PROCESS

The objective is to contribute to economic growth in the North Netherlands while contributing to (solving) societal challenges. RIS 3 focuses on four major societal challenges: Health, demography and well-being Food security, sustainable agriculture and bio- economy Clean and efficient forms of energy Clean and safe water ENTREPRENEURIAL DISCOVERY PROCESS

Entrepreneurial discovery process is aimed at developing completely new value propositions and business models and comprises 4 stages Transitions and values Out-of-the-box thinking Identifying business opportunities New Business models Competence development EDP ULTIMATE AIM + STAGES

The ‘best three’ will be selected by a committee consisting of 5 members of societal groups (i. e. politicians, business, students, NGOs, interested citizens, etc. ). We also would like one of the PERISCOPE partners to join the selection board The suggested EDP can also be copied by other PERISCOPE partners, so that we can learn from each other’s experiences, but also that we are getting actively involved in the identified new business opportunities/new business models. Unifying the EDP approach and participating in each other’s approach paves the way to more and more elaborated transnational cooperation SELECTION OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The idea is to organise a major transdisciplinary event in May 2017, that will stretch out over one week. An exact date has not been set yet. Partners will be selected before 15 February and contacted before 15 March. We already have some ideas where the event might take place, but a lot needs to be sorted out still. PLANNING
