"Don't let the environment of the economy stop you; just do it now," said Bruno Claude, a Belgian entrepreneur and former CEO of Swiss Cablecom. "There's a lot of risk in being an entrepreneur. When you're young you can pick up the pieces and move on. So don't wait."
That advice, from one of the international cable-telecommunications industry's most successful entrepreneurs, was among several tips offered at an entrepreneurship conference organized here Oct. 21-22 by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). Promoting entrepreneurship is central to the institute's mission - and is also why it recently launched its first EIT Awards contest. For that, nine start-ups have been nominated for three prizes, to be awarded at a conference and awards ceremony on 21 February in Brussels.
