At this year’s conference, we are exploring ways to connect innovation, technology and society by exploring prevailing trends and needs centering on the effective and creative use of diverse technologies and their relevance for economic, environmental, organizational and social sustainability. There is a clear recognition of the insularities and dysfunctionalities in civic society and communities, among economic entities, and in public spheres, generated by the inherent tension between rapid technological development and the relatively slow pace in which
organisations and societies can adapt to the changes. People are left bereft of institutional values and governance safeguards. In this context while entrepreneurship is promoted widely, it is our contention that neither policy, nor research appear to have provided us with sufficient insights into the ways and means in which entrepreneurship and innovation can help to resolve the tensions
and help secure sustainable outcomes for individuals, organisations, and societies.

Join us to:

• Interact with researchers, policy makers and practitioners.
• Raise the level and frequency of discourse on the uses of technology and sustainable entrepreneurial endeavour in different contexts.
• Contribute to types of practice and dialogue which consider entrepreneurship to be bigger than starting or growing a new business or social venture.
• Engage as reflective, entrepreneurial citizens to reset agendas for entrepreneurship, innovation and society
