This year\u2019s LIDS Symposium, entitled \u201cTrade and Entrepreneurship: Linking Local Growth to \u00a0Global Markets,\u201d aims to highlight the legal, political, and economic barriers facing new businesses and aspiring exporters in developing countries. The symposium begins with the underlying notion that independent and sustainable development cannot occur without the emergence of successful, exportable domestic industries. While approaches such as\u00a0microfinance gained traction in the past decade, efforts to grow subsistence-level producers and informal businesses into more efficient medium-sized enterprises in developing countries have remained frustratingly slow. Through the rich experience of the speakers, the 2013 LIDS\u00a0symposium aims to exchange valuable lessons from NGOs, government, academia, and\u00a0groundbreaking fieldwork in the search for solutions that to lead the way forward in this critical area of development.<\/p>\n

Keynote Speaker:\u00a0ABHIJIT BANERJEE
\nMIT Economist, Co-Founder of the Poverty Action Lab & Best Selling Author of POOR ECONOMICS<\/p>\n
