The future course of the innovation society is fueled by two critical components – innovation and entrepreneurship. Their successful fusion is effectively transferring the global communities into a set of innovation societies that are moving rapidly toward an integrated uni-global economy, with challenges that will dramatically shape the face of humanity, and ensure that equitable benefits - poverty alleviation or eradication; improved health care; basic and higher education - are shared among all. 

An action plan will be offered on why innovation must be a key outcome for all public/private sectors and NGOs to seek through entrepreneurship – as one of the primary sources of global competitiveness. It will explore how leaders can set up the appropriate mechanisms and implement action plans to enter and succeed in developed and emerging markets, as well as to enable developing populations to leapfrog into the innovation age.
