A YORK entrepreneur will be the keynote speaker at a major international business conference in Mexico this month.

Peter Harrington, founder of business simulation game SimVenture, which is used to encourage entrepreneurship and teach business skills in educational establishments in 31 countries, will address 2,000 students and lecturers from all over Mexico at The International Congress at Universidad Tecnologica de Cancun.

He will speak about global entrepreneurship in a shrinking world where crucial problems for mankind need to be solved, at the four-day event starting on March 26.

On the way to the congress, Mr Harrington will meet ten prospective clients in Ecuador.

He said: “I was honoured to be invited by the conference organisers to share my experience and stories illustrating the need for universal thinking. “With the right mindset everyone has an opportunity to make a their own dent in the universe.”
