Racial Equity in Technology Entrepreneurship (RETE) 2024 Workshop

This workshop exists to expand the body of research across academic disciplines at the intersection of race, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. In just two short years our workshop has convened a racially and ethnically diverse group of approximately 143 scholars, practitioners, and leaders from 90 different organizations, including 70 different colleges and universities across 4 continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America), currently engaged in this work. This was made possible by generous funding from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

Our 2024 workshop is a premier event that brings together thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners to explore the theme of "Inclusive Innovation: Policy and Racial Equity Implications." This workshop aims to foster dialogue, share research, and inspire collaborative efforts toward a more equitable future in innovation and technology entrepreneurship. We invite researchers to submit abstracts for research papers related to this theme. Selected submissions will be invited to present during research paper sessions during the workshop. Full accommodations will be provided to scholars selected to present. This includes travel expenses to Newark, NJ, hotel accommodations, and meals.
