The 9th International Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF) in Istanbul, 16-18 September 2009
16 September 2009 - 18 September 2009
United Kingdom
The University of Essex in the UK has teamed up with Sabanci University in Turkey to offer an exciting platform for researchers, policy makers and practitioners in recognition of the role of technology in the generation of entrepreneurial opportunities for new venture creation.
Supported by OECD and its LEED programme, the 9th IEF conference aims to recognize the increasing flow of ideas, resources and knowledge between businesses, institutions and governmental bodies. Technology has significant role to play in the growth based on collaboration, networking and alliances, and possibilities of new organisational forms emerging from cross-border linkages. As a result the central theme of the deliberations is on "Technology and Entrepreneurship: New Ventures and the Creative Use of Technologies". The conference covers nine major sub-themes but welcomes papers in other related areas.
The conference will be held in the beautiful Conrad Istanbul hotel which is located in the heart of Istanbul, off Barbaros Boulevard and adjacent to Yildiz Park, on six acres of terraced gardens and enjoying a prime position on one of Istanbul's seven hills, overlooking the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara.
The conference has confirmed participations from the Deputy Secretary General of OECD - Mr Pier Carlo Padoan; Head of Unit Entrepreneurship of European Commission - Mr Marko Curavic; George Mason University Professor and Director of Centre for Entrepreneurship and Public Policy - Prof Zoltan Acs; University of California Irvine Professor and Director of Don Beall Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Prof Caludia Schoonhoven, Serial Entrepreneur and President of Early Stage Technology Investment Funds - Ms Candace Johnson, and many more prominent speakers across the globe.For any further information about the history of IEF and its current organisation please visit the conference website: www.essex.ac.uk/conferences/ief/
