We frequently use the buzzwords “entrepreneurship” and “innovation,” but what exactly do they mean? How can innovation-driven entrepreneurship be cultivated—and can it really be taught or improved?

Join MIT Senior Lecturer and serial entrepreneur Bill Aulet for a complimentary, interactive webinar on February 28^th to better understand and explore successful examples of entrepreneurship and innovation in the global marketplace. This webinar is also an opportunity to hear the latest trends in the marketplace and academia, as well as Aulet’s thoughts on them.

Following the webinar, the conversation will continue on Facebook for an additional hour, giving participants an opportunity to pose questions directly to Aulet on the MIT Sloan Executive Education wall.
