Key topics at the seminar will include:

- Vivid examples of sustainable, scalable, and disruptive businesses that are solving important urban problems
- Student-led business ideas that show promise for changing the urban social and economic landscape.
- Strategic, legal, and financial support systems needed to ensure the success of urban entrepreneurs.
The morning keynote speaker is Dr. Jeffrey Robinson from the Rutgers University Center for Urban Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CUEED), a leading figure in the urban entrepreneurship movement.
