This small and highly participatory gathering will allow participants to:
- explore, discuss and agree on key characteristics of profitable business enterprises aligned with Buddhist values;
- recommend business models and policy changes to support the development of such enterprises in Europe;
- put the idea/culture of Buddhist Business Management on the public agenda; and
- form a working group to advance the agenda of Buddhist inspired values in entrepreneurship.
Partly inspired by Bhutan's Gross National Happiness, the workshop is designed for around 40 people and open to anyone from the business or academic sectors interested or involved in Buddhist Business/Economics as well as to entrepreneurs, university students and leaders of Buddhist organisations.
Participants are not required to demonstrate hands-on business experience, but invited to actively participate in the discussion and shape final outcomes at the workshop. Participants from outside of Europe are also welcomed.
Thanks to our generous donors, the participation fee is limited to 100 Euros per person which covers the two-day workshop with meals and refreshments. Accommodation and travel expenses remain to be covered individually by the attendees.
