Laurence A. Baiada Center for Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurial Breakfast Series
The Baiada Center's Entrepreneurial Breakfast Series is Philadelphia's first and only
entrepreneurial forum for regional development initiatives that links companies, investors
and research institutions with the Drexel community.
Panel discussions and guest speakers provide thought leadership in best practices of
entrepreneurship for both budding and experienced entrepreneurs. Whether discussing the
impact of youth experiences on entrepreneurial success or engaging in a mock buy/sell
negotiation, panelists are comprised of established entrepreneurial leaders from
throughout the region and the world.
Each forum is carefully crafted to provoke thought leadership in entrepreneurship,
and to engage the entire audience in a give-and-take dialogue with the panelists about
important issues. These content rich events provide an excellent networking opportunity
aimed at enhancing and growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
