The world has not developed positively, especially in the last few decades. Governments have not been able to show their citizens creative solutions for new ways to make the world a better place. It is therefore, an urgent necessity for citizens (especially students and teachers) to think and act for themselves and for our society.
The competence that is required for this, among other things, is “Entrepreneurship” (or entrepreneurial skills). Join our international panel, moderated by Dr Julian Ng, to discuss this important and topical subject.
