Celebrate National Enterprise Week with the final
Enterprise Britain lecture
15 November
This autumn, some of the nation’s biggest names in science broadcasting,
innovation and architecture have come together to present the first ever
Enterprise Britain lecture series. Linking with National Enterprise Week
2005 (14-20 November), the series concludes with Enterprise Britain:
Looking forward to the Future?, a lively panel discussion held on 15
November in the IMAX Theatre-At-Bristol.
Enterprise Britain celebrates Britain’s role of invention and innovation –
past, present and future - and is a prelude to the ‘Brunel 200’
celebrations in 2006. It is a partner presentation between At-Bristol, the
British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Society of
Arts and the University of Bristol.
Chaired by renowned writer and broadcaster Dr. Adam Hart-Davis , the final
lecture, Enterprise Britain: Looking forward to the Future?, will explore
the prospects for innovation and enterprise in the 21st Century. The
distinguished panel includes Marc Catchpole – Director of Enterprise
Insight, Ben Taylor – Assistant Chief Executive of Renishaw, David Kirby –
Professor of Entrepreneurship at the University of Surrey, Professor Helen
Haste – Professor of Psychology at the University of Bath and Professor
William Gosling – Emeritus Professor at the University of Bath. Come and
find out how the entrepreneurs of tomorrow will be nurtured and discover
how globalisation, sustainable development and the resurgence of
fundamentalism could affect the spirit of enterprise in the future. A
fascinating, no-holds-barred debate is promised and questions for the
panel to discuss will be welcomed.
Enterprise Britain: Looking forward to the Future starts at 7.30pm
on 15 November in the IMAX Theatre-At-Bristol. Tickets cost £5.00 or £3.50
