INSEAD / University of Nairobi, Research Seminar on Fostering Entrepreneurship in East Africa by Professor Stephen Mezias, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise

Nairobi – 17 February 2012 : The University of Nairobi School of Business hosted Professor Stephen Mezias from INSEAD, who spoke about “Catalyzing economic growth with private equity: lessons from the recent success of Turkey”. 120 participants attended the seminar which included faculty, PhDs, MBAs and Undergraduates of Entrepreneurship.

It was one of the few occasions where PhD, MBA and Bcom students sat in one room. It was a lively seminar where Prof. Mezias shared his research findings with an attentive audience. Prof. Mezias also expressed keen interest in research collaborations with University of Nairobi. We hope such seminars will become common in future . They go a long the way in enriching our intellectual culture”, said Dr Iraki, MBA Coordinator who organized the event with the INSEAD Africa Initiative.
