- 2. background information / A New Generation of entrepreneurs In this worldly context of change, there is an upcoming influence of a gene- ration of new entrepreneurs, that experiences creative freedom. # With their desire to create and the technical gear (hard & software) available, they are starting their own little businesses – especially if they can’t find their creative freedom within the existing corporations. # Digital is no longer something new, it’s a given. This is a network-generation of entrepreneurs that is characterized by a cocktail of the concepts ‘multi’, ‘sha- ring’, ‘inline’ and ‘open’ and that will change the future as they like to do it on their own terms. They don’t wait for something to happen, they start doing it.
