The workshop is organized by Ecole Polytechnique, Chair for Business Economics & Chair FDIR, ESSEC Business School, Institut de l'Innovation et de l'Entrepreneuriat Social and HEC Paris, Chaire Entreprise et Pauvreté.

The Workshop will cover two main issues:

- Are BOP strategies compatible with sustainable development? How is environmental and social sustainability embedded within BOP business models?

- How are BOP ventures on poverty reduction evaluated by NGOs, and international institutions? What benefit may actual BOP strategies take from these evaluations?

A keynote speech will be given by Stuart Hart, Professor of Management at Cornell University, one of the founders of the BOP concept, along with presentations by guest speakers from each of the Chairs present, including: Bernard Garrette, Professor of Strategy and Associate dean for the HEC MBA program and Frédéric Dalsace, Professor of Marketing, both from HEC Paris.

The Workshop is now available on iTunes U.
