World Entrepreneur Society 2010
Instead of a major summit in 2010, we are organising a number of smaller events throughout the year to profile leading edge research and thinking in the area of entrepreneurship, economic development and sustainability.
The first of these will be on the 11th March 2010 and will be held at Goodenough College, London, from 12.30 in the afternoon. This half day event is to celebrate the launch of Delta Economic's new report, "Hidden Social Enterprises."

Delta Economics and IFF Research are proud to announce the launch of their first report looking at the social enterprise sector in the UK. The research isolates the companies within a sample of 2,120 for-profit, growth-oriented entrepreneurs who conform to a broad and a narrow definition of social enterprise. They are the "Hidden Social Enterprises" in the UK who create economic, social and environmental value simultaneously. The report compares them with "mainstream" enterprises in terms of their economic and social/environmental performance, their motivations and the challenges they face.
Speakers include Rebecca Harding (Managing Director, Delta Economics), Steve Lomax (Director, IFF Research), Vicky Pryce (Joint Head of UK Government Economic Services and Chief Economic Adviser, BIS), Renate Hornung-Draus (Managing Director, German Employers' Federation), John Elkington (Founder, Volans), Andrea Coleman, Founder, Riders for Health, Duncan Grossart (Founder and former CEO of Image Source), Jonathan Jenkins (Director of Ventures, UnLtd), Richard Litchfield (Managing Director, Eastside Consulting) Ceri Jones (Head of Policy, Social Enterprise Coalition) and Allison Ogden-Newton (Social Enterprise London)
