14.00 - 15.30 THEMES IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT



1. SOCIAL AND SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
SPONSOR (TBC) CHAIR: DAVID GRAYSON

Entrepreneurship with a social or environmental purpose is one of the least understood areas of entrepreneurship and one that a number of GEM teams are now working to understand. This session brings together, entrepreneurs, thought leaders and financiers who see social and sustainable businesses as the only way to meet the challenges the world faces in the 21st Century.

2. YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION
SPONSOR: MAKE YOUR MARK CAMPAIGN
CHAIR: JOHN MULLINS, ASSOC PROF OF MGMT PRACTICE IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP, LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL

If we are to build a progressive approach to entrepreneurship across the world, then young people are central to that vision and GEM data suggests that younger people tend to be more entrepreneurial. This panel looks at youth entrepreneurship and its role in developing and developed countries and at the educational and support structures that best enable the world to unleash the potential in its youth.

3. ENTREPRENEURIAL FINANCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF NETWORKS
SPONSOR: (TBC)
CHAIR: DAVID GIAMPAOLO, PI CAPITAL

GEM research demonstrates that the importance of the financing of entrepreneurial firms cannot be understated and is well documented. But this session looks at the added value that is provided by the financial sector, from business angels through to private equity in the form of mentoring and non-financial support, particularly in emerging technologies such as clean technologies.

4. WOMEN & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP
SPONSOR: INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION
CHAIR: CLAIRE LOGIE, CHAIR, GLOBAL BANKING ALLIANCE & DIRECOR, WOMEN IN BUSINESS, BANK OF SCOTLAND

GEM reports have demonstrated that women are much less likely to start businesses than men. This represents a waste of the talents and energies of half of the world's population and this session looks at the role that women can play in creating successful businesses as well as in building or regenerating their communities.

5. ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITHOUT BORDERS: THE HI-TECH CHALLENGE
SPONSOR: UK TRADE AND INVESTMENT
CHAIR: Eric van der Kleij, Senior Dealmaker, UK TI

Although many entrepreneurial markets start as primarily domestic, entrepreneurs themselves are mobile and increasingly well-placed to take advantage of the opportunities that a world without borders offers. This session looks at multi-location businesses and financiers who are opening up the global space and proving that being entrepreneurial across borders is an increasingly successful business model.

Increasingly, global business is more about entrepreneurship than management and requires new and flexible ways of thinking. Global businesses are looking at internal systems and external ones. They are looking at the communities where they operate and looking beyond corporate responsibility toward how the world's largest firms could empower local communities to set up autonomous businesses to develop strong and mutually reinforcing relationships within their supply chains.
