We are hoping the conference will take place in London Face to Face following all the health and legal guidelines by the UK government but WASD is also well prepared for running the conference online is the global pandemic lockdown continues until November 2021. As a result of the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, for the first time since its inception the Annual Conference of WASD was organised successfully in 2020 remotely via video conference technologies. In doing so, WASD used the latest technology in video conferencing from London with participants from all-over the world connecting from homes.

Target audience: Academics, researchers, UN agencies, NGOs, civil society groups, youth, students, private sector, business, SMEs, and other stakeholders.

The conference objective is to introduce a variety of fundamental perspectives on entrepreneurship eco-system to help re-building the global economy and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is now clearly recognised that innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as being a central driver of economic growth, are also recognised as very important tools to help achieve Sustainable Development (SD). The conference is therefore aims to discuss and explore various approaches and different ways by the Higher Education (HE) institutions (universities, colleges and research institutes) which can contribute to enhance and support entrepreneurship eco-system towards re-building the global economy and the UN Agenda 2030 across the world and more specifically in the Developing Countries (DCs). Moreover, the conference aims to explore and critically analyse the current debates around the role of entrepreneurship and innovation in achieving SD.
