HIGH-GROWTH ENTREPRENEURS

It’s the quality that counts

Science|Business has launched a series of news and events to prompt debate on a vital policy question: How do you encourage enterprise in science?

The process kicked off with a high-level discussion at the Science|Business Innovation Board at Imperial College London on 20 June 2007, continuing with a meeting of the Board at the ESADE Business School in Barcelona in December 2007.

We’re also profiling a number of successful entrepreneurs, exemplars of the real force behind job creation and dynamic economies, beginning on 29 November 2007.

Join the debate: email us and let us know what you think.
