Monday 16
Evening
For profit, for good
This event will look at the vital role
entrepreneurs play in devising solutions to some
of the great challenges of our time and the
positive impact they have on society generally.
The breadth of this work encompasses how businesses operate, how
entrepreneurs share their wealth and the evolving priorities of investors.
More generally the discussion will look at the changes to the wider
landscape: is it still correct to separate out the search for an economic
return from philanthropic giving or can an entrepreneurial business be
simultaneously for profit and for good?
