Horizontal Research Thematic Areas

CGC six Horizontal Thematic Areas will support the twelve vertical research thematic areas and develop the CGC Business to be a global, well-structured and advanced business with the vision to function anywhere, anytime with anybody and anything. CGC will create and capture business across all vertical thematic areas. CGC will look for start-ups and BMs inside and between businesses. CGC will seek to fundraise and develop projects worldwide and will establish and engage in professional conferences, workshops and events around the world.
The digitalisation and virtualisation of BM and the CGC multi business model innovation platforms will be a major task for this horizontal thematic area.

In the CGC context, “Entrepreneurial” refers to the establishment of a new business – a start-up. CGC aims at playing a major role in global entrepreneurship to support more people to become entrepreneurs – and to survive as such. CGC aims at “bridging” global entrepreneurial hotspots, whether in cities or rural areas.
In CGC parlance, “intrapreneurial” refers to the development and implementation of entrepreneurial skills amongst businesses employees to continuously look and ‘scout’ for new technologies and technological solutions and to bridge them with business models as a subsidiary of already existing businesses.
“Interpreneurial” refers to the application of creating and capturing new business models in networks of different competencies between different businesses globally.
CGC will strengthen all of the academic research and its applications, enabling growth between businesses with particular emphasis on symbiosis of smart business networks, smart villages, smart cities, smart countries and smart global ecosystem. CGC researchers focus on all aspects of entre-, intra- and interpreneurship.
