Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship are closely linked to one another, and they are considered as the keys to a wealthy and sustainable economy. The best way to turn research into innovations is to consider key innovation factors from the earliest phases of research all along the way to products and services. Creating successful and sustainable enterprises is then the logical next step, which can be leveraged significantly by the early sensitisation of creative minds for entrepreneurship. The ECQA Certified Researcher-Entrepreneur training and certification program covers all the key aspects that are associated with these considerations upfront the process of the creation of a new enterprise, as well as with boosting the innovation power of existing companies. To this aim, it deals with

the process of shaping ideas,
innovation transfer to bring research to innovation,
knowledge networking leveraged by people networks,
the creation of learning organisation environments,
European and national facilitators of entrepreneurship,
risk consideration and mitigation, etc.
