The International Council for Small Business (ICSB) 2007 World ConferenceTurku, Finland, 13-15 June
The ICSB 2007 World Conference is organized by European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB) in co-operation with the host of the conference, Entrepreneurship, BRDC at Turku School of Economics
The theme for the conference is: “At the crossroads of East and West:new opportunities for entrepreneurship and small business”.
Despite its remote Northern location, Finland has been successful in giving birth to world-class companies like Nokia and other technology- and knowledge-driven companies, and hence it offers an excellent location for discussions on opportunities emerging from technology, knowledge and innovation for entrepreneurship and small business.
Historically, Finland has been part of both Sweden and Russia and in its position between east and west, which are becoming increasingly united with growing globalization and international trade, and with the enlargement of the EU and other forms of co-operation, it offers a brilliant opportunity for discussing the impacts of globalization and increasing international co-operation on entrepreneurship and small business.
