The annual Global Summit brings together entrepreneurship educators from around the world to share best practices in pedagogy and advance thought leadership. The Summit provides optimal value for attendees through professional development content, exposure to host school and local ecosystems, excursions, and time for members to network, conduct business with each other, and socialize. Your institution must be a current member of the Babson Collaborative in order to participate in the Summit. Registration and group meals/travel/events during the Summit are included with membership.

2021 GLOBAL SUMMIT
Thank you speakers, planners, and participants who contributed to the success of our fourth annual (and first virtual) Babson Collaborative Global Summit!
Entrepreneurship Education when your Campus is the World: While the global pandemic has forced educators to adapt to online and hybrid teaching, this transition has also identified opportunities to rethink the geographical boundaries and limitations of the university. The 2021 Summit explored the implications for learners, educators and educational institutions when geography matters less, technology matters more, and new paradigms present unprecedented challenges and opportunities.
While the Summit is usually open only to member institutions, in 2021, we invited the public to join us for two sessions.

Innovation in Global Entrepreneurship Education: Summit Kickoff and Collaborative Book Launch
The Summit kicked off with a celebration and launch of Innovation in Global Entrepreneurship Education: Teaching Entrepreneurship in Practice, a research book examining entrepreneurship education from a global perspective by focusing on best practices from Babson Collaborative member institutions. This book was written by Collaborative members and edited by Heidi Neck of Babson College and Yipeng Liu of Henley Business School. Ten of the 50 authors introduced the innovative practice highlighted in their chapter, after which we held an open discussion of entrepreneurship education through the lens of interdisciplinary, comparative and global collaboration.

Beyond Webinars and WhatsApp: How Members are Maximizing their Collaborative Membership
The Babson Collaborative is driven by a shared belief that institutions acting together achieve more toward their entrepreneurial mission and goals than each working alone. While the Collaborative shares structured content and communications platforms, the true power of the Collaborative lies in establishing and utilizing connections with like-minded peers and institutions. In this session, current members highlighted how they have leveraged the Collaborative’s global network and platforms to: expand global research on critical topics; create opportunities for students to develop a more global and entrepreneurial mindset; and expand their university ecosystem through exchange of expertise and global perspectives.
