Led by TalTech PhD candidate Tarlan Ahmadov, the study focuses on the role of entrepreneurial orientation, open innovation, and circular economy practices in driving sustainable business development in Vietnam. The research builds on insights from the webinar "Accelerating Vietnam's Circular Economy Transition: Importance, Necessity, and Future Pathways", organized earlier this year in collaboration with the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI). The collaboration underscores TalTech’s commitment to addressing global sustainability challenges through international partnerships.

The study aims to provide actionable solutions to help businesses adopt circular practices, foster innovation, and support Vietnam’s sustainable development goals. Key areas of focus include how entrepreneurial approaches and open innovation can advance sustainable business models.

  • The study welcomes collaboration, and we invite researchers, industry professionals, and businesses to partner with us in this meaningful initiative.

The study is under the supervision of Prof. Susanne Durst. For more information or collaboration opportunities, contact Tarlan Ahmadov, PhD Candidate at the Sustainable Value Chain Management Unit.
