This study line focuses on the application of methods, techniques and models to promote creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Understanding entrepreneurship as an engine of economic and social development, the characteristics and skills necessary for the development of creativity and business innovation are analysed in a changing, complex and volatile environment such as the current one. In these circumstances, it is necessary to use agile methodologies that allow reducing the initial uncertainty of projects in a fast, incremental and flexible way. Thus, we apply Customer Development and Lean Startup as methods to establish a Lean Business Design in both newly created and consolidated companies. Adding exponential technologies and SCALE and IDEAS attributes to these methodologies seeks to design profitable, repeatable and scalable business models through continuous experimentation.
