11th Entrepreneurship Conference Friday, 24 April 2009 |
|
|
| The economy is taking us on another downward cycle. Businesses, both
large and small, are feeling the pressure of a changing world. But the
question lingers – is this the right time? Where will the growth come
from? Where can I find the best people? Who can help me? Where are the
emerging opportunities? Join us on Friday, 24 April 2009 and get answers to these and other questions from entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, entrepreneurship-focused organizations and members of London Business School faculty. |
