How to shape the World of 2050 with an Entrepreneurial Impact?
The answer was given by our members during the annual meeting of the World Entrepreneurship Forum that took place in Singapore from 2nd - 5th November 2011.
‘Entrepreneurship – A Driver for Innovation and Technology ‘was the main discussion of this year.
Great speakers shared their insights during the opening plenary session.
Gérard Collomb Senator - Mayor of Lyon City; Al Hammond Entrepreneur in Residence, Ashoka; Ho Kwon Ping Founder & Chairman, Banyan Tree Resorts, Singapore; Dr. Ray O Johnson Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, Lockheed Martin Corporation; Prof Su Guaning President Emeritus, Nanyang Technological University.
Then exclusive think-tank working concepts (World Entrepreneurship CAFÉ and Open Space Technology), led by Dan Evans, Chief Innovation Director at EMLYON Business School took place for the first time, and were very appreciated by all participants.
The Forum ended successfully with commitments given by members, who are from different part of the World, different background, profession but share the same value, belief and spirit, who think YES, WE CAN and WE WILL change the World with Entrepreneurial Impact.
The World Entrepreneurship Forum is also welcoming 2 new co-founders: City of Lyon, France and Zhejiang University, China. This event promises to bring the Forum into a new page of development.
