Mar. 15, 2011, Carole Robert will be honored to be co-presenter of a workshop discussion with Prof. Peter Singer (CEO of Grand Challenges Canada and director of the McLaughlin-Rotman Centre for Global Health) at the conference "Africa Rising: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Frontiers" organized by the MaRS Discovery District.
Innovation and entrepreneurship are the keys to economic development in Africa, and as growth accelerates on the continent there are fresh opportunities for Canadian companies.
Hosted by the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto, the “Africa Rising” conference brings together leaders from the worlds of business, science and government to explore several aspects of entrepreneurship in Africa: business development, growth sectors, financing, commercializing research, new development models, information and communications technologies, and innovation in governance.
The discussion will reflect on practical experience, real success and future prospects for growth and opportunity in Africa, and promises to stimulate thought and action with a view to promoting more Canadian trade and investment in Africa’s dynamic economies.
