Bridging Research & Practice for Inclusive Entrepreneurship: A National Entrepreneurship Conference

This full-day thought-leadership forum brings together leading scholars, practitioners, policy-makers, entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders to explore how cutting-edge research can inform and enhance real-world entrepreneurial practice. Through keynote addresses, panel discussions and practitioner-case presentations, the conference will examine key issues such as behavioural competencies for entrepreneurs, the role of informal enterprises in national growth, women- and youth-led venture development, access-to-finance bottlenecks, and transitioning from survival-oriented to growth-oriented SMEs. By creating structured spaces for interactive dialogue and networking, participants will jointly identify actionable insights, policy implications and collaborative opportunities to deepen impact on the ground and strengthen the national entrepreneurship ecosystem.
