In today’s turbulent times, entrepreneurs need to adapt, rethink, and lead with clarity. Join SME leaders, scale-up founders, and next-gen start-ups at our Entrepreneurship Day – and be inspired by new insights from experts and fellow entrepreneurs. Together, we’ll explore everything from scaling with lean teams, building a culture that drives growth, and using AI as a smart lever for productivity. And you’ll learn all about authentic leadership, strategy execution, international resilience, and talent management.
