The Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2013 comes to Kuala Lumpur, October 11-12, 2013 and promises to be the global hive of everything entrepreneurship! First held in 2010 in Washington, DC USA and hosted by President Barack Obama, the 2013 Summit will be the first in East Asia, and will bring the world to Kuala Lumpur for a truly Global Entrepreneurship Summit.
Rock star entrepreneurs from all over the world, thought leaders, researchers and aspiring entrepreneurs will converge, meet, discuss, debate, share ideas, connect and network under the PETRONAS Twin Towers in dynamic Kuala Lumpur this October. As its theme suggests, the 2013 Summit will be all about "Empowering & Connecting Entrepreneurs".
The Summit will be the catalyst for a series of world events where the entrepreneur will be placed firmly in the centre as leaders of economic development, with enabling support from government and the educational and finance sectors.
With this in mind, the Summit will bring some of the best names to Kuala Lumpur under 4 distinct tracks:
- Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
- Creating Tomorrow's Game-changers
