Konstantinos Fouskas

As an Assistant Professor of Technological Innovation and Digital Entrepreneurship at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki, Greece, I am teaching in the area of innovation and entrepreneurship, e-business and development of new products and services. I also currently teach at International Hellenic Un. and Un. of the Aegean related topics and also collaborate with a number of other Academic Institutes in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship. My research has been published in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences and I have participated in more than 15 International and National research projects, including research projects in Developing countries. I teach because I am passionate about entrepreneurship, innovation and development of new ventures. I have also been a serial entrepreneur developing a number of ventures mainly related to provision of Digital, innovative services, others resulting in success and others in teaching me valuable lessons. My background is widespread and combines studies and experience ranging from crafting a corporate strategy and responding to competition with innovative actions to handling and rearranging business operations and filling in accounting and financial information. This diversity has allowed me to obtain a broader view in developing new business ventures ranging from evaluation of the business proposition to financial projections analysis. To this end I am happy to assist new entrepreneurs of any age that pursuit their dreams. I am doing so through various Incubator programs such as Orange Grove, Ace-In and by personal coaching. I have also been extensively engaged with business advisory, trying to assist established firms with limited organizational capabilities to evolve to viable, competitive players in their markets and organize their internal resources in a more efficient way. I have also been a member of the European Space Agency Technology Transfer team.
