3rd Annual Rhodes Ventures Forum
This year’s edition will focus on the diverse pathways of developing modern ventures, and examine the roles of academic and research institutions in enabling ventures to thrive. We shall reflect on the frameworks needed to transform ideas into tangible action, and take a glimpse beneath the surface to unpack the support systems that feed venture success. The organisers believe entrepreneurship has a key role to play in contending with a world undergoing technological transformation in the wake of the fourth industrial revolution. The forum will present the space for trans-disciplinary delegates and speakers to engage on this topic in interactive dialogue, venture showcases, as well as networking and mentorship sessions. Registration is now closed.
