About this event
Join the Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP) and Fast Forward 2030 for a private discussion at the London Design Biennale where the IGP is participating with a Pavilion titled People Powered Prosperity. This inspiring conversation will bring together entrepreneurs from the Fast Forward 2030 global network and will be chaired by Dr Ville Takala, Lecturer in Transformative Entrepreneurship at the IGP. Drawing on their experiences, speakers will explore the creative and strategic processes behind building social enterprises, and how design thinking helps align multiple stakeholders in the pursuit of collective, long-term impact. We'll also look at the interface between entrepreneurship and policy: how entrepreneurs collaborate with policymakers, and what infrastructure is needed to allow socially-driven businesses to thrive.
