Entrepreneurship is a powerful driver of economic growth and also plays a vital role in finding new solutions to complex sustainability and social challenges, says Kaisa Snellman, Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Associate Dean of Diversity and Inclusion.

In this episode of the INSEAD Explains Entrepreneurship* series, she explains how, when diverse entrepreneurs succeed, they can uplift others and effect lasting social change. Entrepreneurship can be a means to foster more flexible work opportunities and challenge traditional industry practices.

Yet, the entrepreneurial journey is susceptible to bias at every stage. Biases create a vicious circle where early inequalities lead to missed opportunities. This in turn stops innovative solutions from reaching the market, further perpetuating economic inequalities. She explains how to reduce bias and remove barriers so that entrepreneurship can become a powerful lever for social mobility and create lasting positive change.
