Artificial intelligence is reshaping how entrepreneurs raise capital, enter markets, innovate, design business models, and engage with ecosystem stakeholders.
We invite management, finance and entrepreneurship scholars to submit their cutting-edge research to the AI and Entrepreneurship track at the AI in Finance Conference that will take place in Concordia University, Montreal, Canada (October 27-30).
This track explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence at the intersection of entrepreneurship, finance, and innovation.
We welcome submissions that address (but not limited to):
How different levels of generative AI adoption influence entrepreneurial fundraising outcomes.
How AI-driven tools alter investor perceptions, cost structures, and operational efficiency.
The role of organizational learning, prior experience, and institutional environments in shaping AI-enabled entrepreneurial performance.
Whether AI democratizes access to finance across gender, ethnicity, or geography-or risks reinforcing inequalities.
(subject line: AI in Finance Conference, Workshop AI and Entrepreneurship) by September 15, 2025.
Accepted authors will be notified by September 22, 2025.
Selected papers will be invited for a Special Issue in Small Business Economics Journal honoring the legacy of Prof. Christina Guenther, providing a pathway to high-quality publication.
Within this track Professor David B. Audretsch from Indiana University Bloomington, United States will deliver a keynote on AI and entrepreneruship.
Join us in advancing the frontier of entrepreneurship and AI research!
