European social entrepreneurship project AURORA seizmic develops AI-driven mentorship for student ventures, accompanied by new publications in EJIS (2025) and HICSS (2026).
How can generative AI mentor early-stage social entrepreneurs? Within the European AURORA seizmic (EIT-KIC) initiative and the CellPort 6G startup ecosystem, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Hannes Rothe and colleagues develop AI-supported mentorship frameworks that guide founders from initial problem framing to validated impact business models.
Recent research results have been published in the European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS, 2025) on "Designing as trading-off: a practice-based view on smart service systems" and at HICSS (2026) on "Entrepreneurial Digital Resilience in War: Lessons from Ukrainian SMEs" (Komysheva, Wessel, Rothe).
