condition for a business

Business Models
Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation V. Nilsen
Business model is a buzzword that everybody
used (or overused) during the dotcom boom.
In fact, poorly thought out business models were
the downfall of many dotcoms.
However, the business model dates back to the
earliest days of business; it merely describes the
way in which a company makes money.

Editor's Notes

  • #3: The aim is to provide CERN people who are interested in innovation and entrepreneurship with a platform where they can discuss and learn about relevant topics. Some of the meet-ups will have a specific agenda with invited guest speakers, while others will have more of an overarching topic to be discussed among the participants. The first meet-up was primarily spent discussing how the meet-ups should be organised in the future and what the participants want to accomplish by attending the meetings. We also asked them to answer a short questionnaire, and the results are presented in the following slides.
  • #4: Commission for technology and innovation
  • #7: We presented the participants with 12 different subjects related to innovation and entrepreneurship and asked them which ones they would be interested in discussing and/or learning about. Sales technique and Business models were the most wanted subjects, followed by business plans, angel investors, open innovation and entrepreneurs’ experiences.
  • #9: Google was far from the first search engine.
  • #23: 13 Billion EUR / 17 Billion USD
