Building a company today is about more than having a great idea. Entrepreneurs are navigating changing markets, new expectations and an increasing need to rethink how businesses use resources, develop solutions and create lasting value.
At this StartUp Talk, we bring together entrepreneurs and experts to explore sustainability, innovation and the role of communities in building and growing a business.
Through personal experiences and different perspectives, we will explore how sustainability can inspire new solutions and business opportunities, and how entrepreneurial communities can provide access to knowledge, relationships and collaboration along the way.
