World Enterprenuership Summit (WES08)
 

The World Entrepreneurship Summit 2008 was a splendid event. It brought together thought leaders, business leaders, policy
makers and academics from around the world to set the agenda for action around entrepreneurs and their role in enabling sustainable economic development.

The forum provided an innovative mix of formal presentations from top business leaders and politicians, debates, master classes from the world’s leading entrepreneurs, open space conferencing, speed networking and individual workshops and seminars. The goal was to provide a unique combination of people, thinking, ideas, contacts and actions which was rightly achieved.

Hosted in London by Dr Rebecca Harding, Founder of Delta Economics, the summit attracted over 600 senior people from business, policy and academic backgrounds from over 40 countries around the world. Dr Harding who used the summit to restate her belief that
entrepreneurs are key to a sustainable future also affirmed that the Summit will ensure that entrepreneurs are placed at the heart of
government policies.

Foreign Investment Network, a UK based investment consulting and publishing firm used the occasion to confer awards on organizations and individuals that have contributed significantly to entrepreneurship evelopment in their chosen fields.
