I'm delighted to share that the Cambridge Judge Business School is hosting the Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation Research Conference (GEIRC) on 15–16 June 2026. This is a unique opportunity for scholars to explore how entrepreneurship and innovation can thrive in a rapidly changing world.
The theme this year is: "Navigating uncertainty: building resilient ventures and innovation ecosystems in a fragmented world." We welcome submissions around all topics related to innovation and entrepreneurship, but also particularly around key topics such as:
• Scaling frontier technologies (AI, biotech, clean energy, quantum) under geopolitical and market uncertainty
• Industrial and innovation policy, and the role of government-backed venture funds in shaping innovation trajectories
• University–industry collaboration and emerging models of global research partnerships under shifting global dynamics
• Evolution of global innovation networks, cross-border capital flows, and financing strategies in the geo-economic era
Whether you're a researcher with a working paper, a PhD candidate, or simply interested in entrepreneurship, innovation or global strategy, this event offers an exceptional forum to share ideas, network, and engage in deep discussion.
📝 Paper submission deadline: 31 January 2026. Registration fee is USD 200 (£150) and includes full access to sessions, lunch, reception and conference dinner.
