Policy contribution and impact

Marian's most recent work with the United Nations Development Group was as panel speaker and working group moderator at the 'Do Good to Do Better: Successful Corporate Strategies that Benefit Society' series of dialogues on the means of implementation of the post-2015 development agenda consultation on engaging with the private sector, held in June 2014 in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Prior to this, in June 2013 she was appointed by the United Nations Development Organisation (UNIDO) as a keynote speaker at an industry leaders roundtable in Costa Rica, discussing 'challenges to sustainable development and international cooperation in middle income countries'.

Some of her more comprehensive work with the UN has been at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), where Marian was appointed expert to the multi-year meeting on entrepreneurship and development from 2011-2013.

In this role, she assessed the impact of public-private partnerships on trade and development in developing countries (2013, commenting on enabling SMEs to grasp the opportunities created by GVCs); discussed their research report on women's entrepreneurship and innovation (2012); and commented on initiatives in higher education that promote entrepreneurship (2011, as part of discussions on enterprise development policies and capacity building in science technology and innovation).

In 2009, Marian served on the academic advisory group for the Evaluation Study of the UK Trade and Investment's (UKTI) Global Entrepreneur Programme and was plenary speaker at their London seminar on the internationalisation of young innovative firms including born globals, where she presented on 'Born Globals and the Internationalisation of High Tech New Ventures in Life Sciences Sectors'.
