CWB Event Series #2: Entrepreneurship, Business and Community Wealth Building

EDAS, through our Community Wealth Building (CWB) Centre for Excellence, and on behalf of the Scottish Government is delivering a work programme to grow knowledge sharing, build expertise and skills and highlight good practice in organisations looking to start, or develop their CWB activities.

Over the next six months, we will be conducting a range of activities including events, podcasts, developing a CWB video and a refreshing the CWB Guide.

Event #2

At its core, Community Wealth Building is about making business and the economy prosperous, innovative, inclusive and resilient, with its focus on patterns of wealth and investment. With representatives from the business community, this event will explore this in general terms, with a specific look at how CWB and its five pillars can strategically and tactically support the growth and development of business and entrepreneurship.
