ICSB is incredibly proud of the work we put into the inaugural Geneve Entrepreneurship Forum, a vibrant gathering that stimulated spirited and friendly discourse among participants from diverse international backgrounds and fields of entrepreneurship and SME research.
The forum’s theme brought together a lineup of distinguished keynote speakers who illuminated the future of entrepreneurship and highlighted the pivotal role of MSMEs in shaping our global society.
Adding to the momentum of this landmark event was the great success of MSMEs Day 2024, held at the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations. Under the theme “A Human-Centered Approach,” the event emphasized the importance of individuals and communities in driving sustainable transformation.
It highlighted how considering people’s well-being and prioritizing inclusive participation ensures that new systems align with and contextualize local culture and personal/institutional needs.
These events exemplified the power of collaboration and innovation.
Participants engaged in thought-provoking discussions exchanged ideas and forged new connections, all in the spirit of advancing the entrepreneurial ecosystem. They underscored the importance of fostering a supportive environment for entrepreneurs and small businesses, recognizing their crucial contribution to economic growth and societal development.
Thanks to Baldegger Rico for his invaluable leadership, collaboration, and support. As we reflect on the memories of the 1st Geneve Entrepreneurship Forum, we are reminded of the power of collective wisdom and the impact of shared experiences.
The insights gained and the relationships formed during this event will continue to inspire and drive our efforts to promote entrepreneurship and support MSMEs worldwide.
