Thursday, July 8, 2010
8:00am, Ground Floor, 215 Spadina Ave., Toronto

In "The New Entrepreneurs," author and venture capitalist Andrew Heintzman introduces us to a burgeoning class of entrepreneurs who are at the forefront of the green-tech economy. From forestry to water to agriculture and oil, he maps out the leading enterprises that are developing cutting-edge, high-profit, clean-tech products and systems for export to a vast and rapidly expanding global market. "The New Entrepreneurs" offers a fresh and visionary approach to redesigning our current economic system, one that uses the powerful forces within capitalism to act as a catalyst for change – and profit.
