TODAY Michael Strong and Magatte Wade present:
"Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurship and Conscious Capitalism have the power
to solve all the world's problems"
What drives innovation and improves well-being in the world today?
Is free market capitalism at odds with improving the general welfare of society?
In this talk, Michael Strong and Magette Wade will discuss how free enterprise
and entrepreneurial opportunity are keys to sustainable prosperity for all, challenging
the popular conception of capitalism-as-corporate-greed. Wade, a Senegalese entrepreneur
and founder of highly successful beverage firm Adina World Beverages, will describe
her personal experience challenging the aid paradigm in
Africa and creating a million-dollar business that is both profitable and poverty
alleviating.
