The State of Entrepreneurship in SA - GEW 2010

The State of Entrepreneurship in SA GEW 2010 (quite a mouthful) was held at the prestigious Mount Nelson Hotel on the 17th November 2010.

Panellists included successful entrepreneur Adrian Gore, CEO of Discovery Holdings, Paul Harris, Chief Executive Officer, FirstRand Ltd and Willem Roos, CEO Out Insurance and the headline panel was facilitated by Bronwyn Nielsen, senior anchor of CNBC Africa. 

Whilst the entire event was most impressive, I must confess, I thought that the speech by Robert Polet, President and CEO of The Gucci Group was brilliant and truly inspirational.

The event was very well attended by around 200 people from varying walks of life.
