"Looking Forward" Developing Sri Lanka for Growth and Innovation
Innovation is the most critical success factor for businesses today. However companies need people that are pioneering, or better put, entrepreneurial themselves in order to be inventive. To this intent, Enterprise Education is now increasingly being hailed as a legitimate tool for wealth creation for a nation’s economy; where its aim is to develop in individuals (particularly the young) a set of skills and attitudes that will allow them to be both job creators and highly employable individuals, and help them contribute to the economy through innovative value and knowledge creation.
The British Council is currently supporting Sri Lankan universities to develop their Enterprise Education, and actively promote Graduate Entrepreneurship through education partnerships with leading entrepreneurial universities in the UK, and conducting a myriad of enterprise education programmes and activities.
In partnership with SLASSCOM and with the sponsorship of Mobitel, one such programme organised by the British Council on this subject, “Looking Forward”, will take place on March 05, 2010 at the Galadari Hotel. This event will seek to communicate and educate on the importance of developing and sustaining entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka by looking at other countries and benchmarking how they’ve created wealth for their country and the industry by supporting an entrepreneurial culture.
