Conference Background
Current Context
The increasing global focus on organized dialogues and academic research has encouraged universities and governments worldwide to host conferences involving politicians, policymakers, researchers, financial institutions, and business startups to discuss advancements in entrepreneurship.
Nepal has become a key participant in these evidence-based discussions, with rising interest from government bodies, private sectors, banks, financial institutions, and startups over the past decade.
King's College has been offering courses in entrepreneurship since 2012, now encompassing undergraduate and graduate programs in business, entrepreneurship, and information technology, and hosts an annual conference focused on themes pertinent to entrepreneurship and Nepal's economic development.
Sustainable Ecosystem Focus
A sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem is more than a network of stakeholders such as entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers; it integrates sustainability into business models to support economic, social, and environmental advancement.
This ecosystem promotes innovations that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that ensure business practices have a positive societal and environmental impact.
In Nepal, the urgency of a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem is particularly pronounced due to the country's challenges in development and sustainability. Emphasizing sustainable entrepreneurship can address environmental degradation, social inequality, and economic resilience and help Nepal build a more inclusive and robust economy.
