Entrepreneurship: The Role of Startups in the Pursuit of a Greener Economy

The demand for global sustainable solutions has never been greater, requiring economies to specialise and adapt.

This offers enormous opportunities for entrepreneurial startups, and in future years these businesses could make a significant contribution to the wealth and happiness of nations.

This session explores the relationship between entrepreneurship and efforts by governments to develop ‘green’ economies, and discusses government initiatives to support and encourage entrepreneurs and start-ups, and their importance to the overall growth of an economy and a country’s prosperity.
