During these uncertain times, startups need to adapt to the current situation and to adjust their products and find ways to be useful. How to bring the most of it and how to develop a deeper understanding of your value and how to co-create new economic, social and environmental benefits for your business in the time of social transformation. The very first KEEN Forum event this year was held virtually on 22nd of April, 2020. New challenge for all of us, but a way to keep on networking. Many thanks to our Cranfield University colleague Orsolya Ihasz for a great workshop.
