WES Themes

WES tries to be as inclusive as possible so no area of entrepreneurship is excluded from our remit.  However, to keep things under control a bit, we focus our Forum, events and news under a number of headings:

  • Entrepreneurship across Borders: the global market place for ideas, innovation and technology giving entrepreneurs a shop window on the world
  • Environmental Entrepreneurship: green and clean ideas, innovations, money and networks
  • Youth Entrepreneurship: our future in their hands
  • Social Entrepreneurship: more than just philanthropy
  • Women's Entrepreneurship
  • Creative Entrepreneurship and social media
  • More than Economic Growth: Entrepreneurship and sustainable development from communities to corporate responsibility - how entrepreneurs can provide the sustainable answers to the challenge of economic development.
