Dr. Christoph Winkler spoke at the United Nations in New York City as part of the International Micro-, Small- and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) Day.
As founding program director of the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Dr. Winkler was invited by the International Council for Small Business (ICSB) to highlight the success of efforts to drive inclusive, entrepreneurial growth through the Hynes Institute, especially in regard to supporting women and youth entrepreneurship. His remarks were part of a day-long celebration with leaders from around the world, including South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Nepal, South Africa, Switzerland, Italy and more. A group of four students also took part in the day.
“At Iona University, we foster a culture of innovation, independent thinking and a deep commitment to community,” Winkler said in his remarks, which were livestreamed around the world. “We firmly believe that entrepreneurial learning requires an innovative approach that bridges classroom learning and community-engaged practice to support our local communities and MSMEs, the backbone of our economic and social fabric.”
