Educators from 23 countries and 28 member institutions around the world came together in Mumbai, India, for the 2024 Babson Collaborative Global Summit to unite, learn, and share an array of entrepreneurship education methods and perspectives.
Hosted at the Collaborative member institution ATLAS SkillTech University in February, the four-day summit gave educators the opportunity to share best practices in pedagogy and advance thought leadership in the world of entrepreneurial education.
