Dear Sir, Madam,                                              

EMLYON Business School, ranked n°1 in entrepreneurship in Europe by the Financial Times, and KPMG, the leading audit company, have joined forces to create the first worldwide think-tank devoted to entrepreneur’s role as a creator of wealth and social justice: the World Entrepreneurship Forum (WEF). The first edition will be held in Evian (France) on 13-15 November 2008.

A Junior World Entrepreneurship Forum (Junior WEF) will be organized each year by a group of EMLYON students, a few months before the World Entrepreneurship Forum.

For the first edition of the Junior WEF (1-5 July 2008) in Shanghai, 80 high-level cross-field students will come together to express their vision of the entrepreneurship of the future, and their report will provide inputs for the debates of the World Entrepreneurship Forum.

Shanghai being the symbol of China’s economic development and a crossroad for worldwide entrepreneurs, we decided to focus the debates on:

Sustainable Entrepreneurship: how can entrepreneurial behaviors contribute to address today’s  world challenges?

A setofconferences and round table will be held on July 1^st and 3^rd 2008 gathering Top-Managers, Entrepreneurs and Students to exchange on the theme.

A White –Paper based on the discussions and debates of this seminar that will provide inputs for the World Entrepreneurship Forum, held in Evian (France) on 13-15 November 2008.
