4^th Health in Entrepreneurship Research Forum

Labex
Entreprendre

This event would not be possible without the sponsorship of the Observatory AMAROK, to support entrepreneurship research at the university of Montpellier.

We would like to thank Montpellier Business School and LabEx Entreprendre (University of Montpellier) for their sponsorship to support the 2024 Health in Entrepreneurship Conference.

An essential topic.

Entrepreneur health and well-being is broadly relevant to nearly every aspect of entrepreneurship, ranging from how individuals motivate themselves to pursue entrepreneurial endeavours to how they cope with the stresses and pressures inherent in entrepreneurial activities.

There has been a steady increase in research on entrepreneurial health and well-being, which was further accelerated by the Covid-pandemic. This has brought the importance of mental and physical health for individuals, entrepreneurs, and societies into sharp focus. However, despite this increased interest, there remain important unanswered research questions, complexities, and boundary conditions surrounding the relationship between entrepreneurship and individual health that merit further exploration.

By connecting researchers from different disciplines, we intend to help advance ongoing conversations regarding the nature and scope of entrepreneurship and founder health.
