The First International Conference on Entrepreneurship, Catalysts of Entrepreneurship: Policies for Growth, is being held at the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad on June 5-6, 2009. The conference will be organised by the Indian School of Business, India and the RAND Corporation, US. The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit global policy think tank working with several governments, private foundations, international organisations, and commercial organisations across the world.The conference addresses issues that affect multiple stakeholders – the government and policymakers, the entrepreneurial ecosystem (including educational institutions, financial institutions, and entrepreneurial networks), and researchers. What policies or practices at the state and central encourage or impede entrepreneurship in India? How have recent reforms, such as a single window clearance, fared? To what extent can this be adopted for all types of businesses across all states in India? What sector specific variations do we need, if any? Are the present regulatory regime, financial, policies and labor laws supportive to the entrepreneur - not only for failed ventures, but also in starting new businesses?
Many of these questions are common across all industries and sectors. In this conference, we will discuss and debate on how policies and initiatives adopted by the government at the state and central levels influence entrepreneurship in the country. We believe that education as well as the infrastructure ecosystem, aided by appropriate policies, can generate the next wave of great entrepreneurial activity in India. This motivates the theme for the conference.This conference provides a platform for policy makers, entrepreneurs, industry bodies and researchers to recognise the opportunities that lie ahead and how policy can aid in taking advantage of these opportunities.Schedule | June 5, 2009 - Friday | 1600 – 1630 hrs | Registration | 1630 – 1825 hrs | Inaugural Session | 1825 – 1940 hrs | An overview of ISB-RAND Research Findings | 1940 hrs onwards | Cocktails and Dinner | June 6, 2009 - Saturday | 0815 – 0845 hrs | Registration | 0845 - 0850 hrs | Welcome Address | 0850 – 0915 hrs | Keynote address | 0915 – 1045 hrs | Focus on Research Findings | 1045 - 1100 hrs | Coffee Break | 1100 – 1300 hrs | Entrepreneurship India’s Educational Sector – Policy Framework | 1300 – 1400 hrs | Lunch Break | 1400 – 1600 hrs | Entrepreneurship in effective Infrastructure Utilization – Policy Framework | 1600 – 1615 hrs | Coffee Break | | 1615 – 1820 hrs | The Road Ahead | 1820 – 1830 hrs | Vote of Thanks | | |
