Dear Sir/Madam,

“Business Innovation & Entrepreneurship: Emerging Face of Business”

Background Theme

Innovation and entrepreneurship is receiving greater attention from policy makers, experts and young
enthusiasts in business. Although the United States is seen as the most innovative country in the next
two years, China and India are considered the second and third most innovative countries, respectively,
clearly on their way to become the technology powerhouses of the future.

The new dynamic enterprises contribute to economic development in several ways as an important
channel to convert the innovative ideas into business and economic opportunities. They are creating
competiveness among enterprises, throwing new employment opportunities, creating new social and
productive networks. The entrepreneurial revolution has taken hold across the globe and has
undeniably impacted the world of business.

The proportion of emerging market entrepreneurs applying mobile, social, data analytics and machine-
to-machine technologies in their business are more than that in mature economies. This difference can
be partly explained by local growth opportunities, availability of technology skilled workers and fewer
constraints on innovation. According to OEDC report there is a positive relationship between business
startup and economic growth rate. The new business ideas are converted into business ventures
through the creativity and innovation.
