Starting is Never from Zero
This panel proposes a reflection on entrepreneurship as historical continuity: no idea is born in isolation, but rather from accumulated knowledge, invisible infrastructures, and collective experiences that precede us. The panel investigates how ancestry, culture, and repertoire shape contemporary innovation. By recognizing that every new project dialogues with previous generations, we discuss responsibility, ethics, and impact. Entrepreneurship, after all, is transforming legacies into possible futures.
