Video Clip from the World Entrepreneurship Forum 2010

I am back from Lyon, France after attending the 3rd edition of the World Entrepreneurship Forum 2010 and it was sensational!  I will provide a thorough recap of my takeaways later in the week but for now, please watch the above video clip from the Gala Ceremony (part 1 of 3).

What an honor (humbling experience) to participate in the ceremony (about 10 minutes into the clip) by presenting the Entrepreneur For The World Award to American Professor Stevenson (his acceptance speech was brilliant).

Dr. Howard H. Stevenson has received the Entrepreneur for the World award in the "Expert" category as he is considered the founder of Entrepreneurship as an academic field. He is the Sarofim-Rock Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. Dr. Stevenson has authored, edited or co-authored numerous books and articles, which are widely used by university professors around the world.
