9th International Entrepreneurship Forum

SAIE would like to spread the word on the 9th International Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF) which is a collaborative effort between IEF, the Faculty of Management, Sabanci University, the National Innovation Initiative, Istanbul, Turkey, and the Centre for Entrepreneurship Research (CER), Essex Business School (EBS), University of Essex, UK, in collaboration with the OECD and its LEED Programme at Paris, France. It is being held on 23-25 September 2009 at the Conrad Istanbul Hotel, Yildiz Caddesi Besiktas, Istanbul.

The conference aims to provide a platform for researchers, policy makers and practitioners in recognition of the increasing flow of ideas, resources and knowledge between businesses, institutions and governmental bodies. The particular role of technology in the generation of entrepreneurial opportunities for new venture creation, growth based on collaboration, networking and alliances, and possibilities of new organisational forms emerging from cross-border linkages, is the central theme of the deliberations that are expected to be held at this major conference.

SAIE’s Managing Director Margaret Worthington-Smith is a Senior Fellow at the School of Entrepreneurship and Business, University of Essex.

  • Please visit the IEF Website for more information on the Conference.
