Entrepreneurs are the key to sustainable economic development and should be at the heart of business and policy thinking. They are ordinary people who take personal risks to be creative, innovative and to make a difference, either economically or socially. Entrepreneurship is about how they engage with their work to achieve the economic or social change that they want. Entrepreneurs may set up businesses, may push at the boundaries of knowledge or may simply want to improve the way in which they do their work. They are the networked, flexible and dynamic wealth creation engines behind every business from the smallest community-based firm to the largest corporate in the world.
