SPARK, Tridos Facet and INHolland University of Applied Sciences will organise an international conference on entrepreneurship development on 29 and 30 October. The conference "Do entrepreneurs need support? The myths and merits of entrepreneurship education and business creation", will critically discuss entrepreneurship development methods and impact. Do entrepreneurs need support?

Both Entrepreneurship education and Business creation programmes have received growing attention for the impact they can have on sustainable development. Yet the achievements of these programs are regularly debated. SPARK, Triodos Facet and INHolland University of Applied Sciences argue that much is to be learnt from entrepreneurship development programmes in all parts of the world. Whether these are conducted in developing, transitional or developed countries; it is the entrepreneur who is challenged daily!

During the conference, entrepreneurship education and business creation programmes will be critically analysed with participants from over 20 nations from across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Agenda in brief:

29 October:   Seminars & interactive workshops
30 October:   Experience learning through site visits & in-depth discussions

Both days will allow for extended networking to find new linkages and opportunities in the light of entrepreneurship development.
