Scaling for impact: Scaling initiatives born in the United Nations to deliver on the SDGs

In this research seminar, Dr. Katherine Tatarinov will share insights from her research on the scaling of entrepreneurial initiatives within the United Nations. This will include reflections on what it takes for initiatives born in the United Nations to scale across countries for global impact. She will also share insights on the role of innovation ecosystems when scaling initiatives that deliver primarily social rather than commercial value as well as ideas for future research.

The event is hosted by the Centre for Entrepreneurial Growth and Scaling at the Whitaker Institute for Innovation and Societal Change.
