annual lecture


I think virtually all of the problems that Britain has, and Europe has, and the world has, can be solved by more entrepreneurship.

 

On 27th November 2018, former Google CEO and Alphabet executive chairman Eric Schmidt delivered the inaugural Centre for Entrepreneurs Annual Lecture. This flagship new initiative provides a prestigious annual platform for world-leading entrepreneurs to speak about the positive impact entrepreneurs have on society.

In the lecture, Eric explored how Britain, Europe and the world can create the next generation of entrepreneurs. He delivered his message to an audience of business leaders, leading politicians, entrepreneurs – past, present and future and key opinion formers.

 

The fundamental strengths that Great Britain has, have not gone away. It’s not like you lost the formula. The formula is still there. You just haven’t emphasised it enough. One of the keys of that formula, and perhaps the starting key, is entrepreneurship.

Why an annual lecture?

Many professions and industries have flagship annual speeches that provide a prestigious platform for reflection and thought-leadership from leading experts.

Too often, highly experienced entrepreneurs are restricted to using speaking opportunities to speak about their personal journey or address topical issues. As a result, the quality of debate on the wider value of entrepreneurship suffers.

The Centre for Entrepreneurs has plugged this gap in the UK’s public debate by launching the CFE annual lecture.

Next annual lecture

The annual lecture has experienced a series of delays; Brexit uncertainties pushed the 2019 lecture to May 2020, then Covid delayed it indefinitely.

We are now planning a 2023 lecture. To enquire about supporting this prestigious event, contact: info@centreforentrepreneurs.org.
