| British Prime Minister Gordon Brown joined Carl Schramm of the Kauffman Foundation today in starting the countdown to Global Entrepreneurship Week 2008, the world’s biggest single event celebrating and promoting entrepreneurship amongst young people. The announcement was made at an event in London attended by leading business figures and entrepreneurs from around the globe. Global Entrepreneurship Week 2008 has been founded by Make Your Mark, the business-led, government-backed campaign to create an enterprise culture in the UK, and the US-based Kauffman Foundation, the world’s pre-eminent Foundation dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship. Twenty-six countries were represented at the Global Enterprise Workshop held on 13th November. The workshop covered coalition building, obtaining sponsorship, social media, and, most importantly, how to reach out to young people and help them to turn their ideas into reality. Global Entrepreneurship Week will promote the benefits of unleashing young people’s entrepreneurial ideas to address society’s biggest issues, including poverty, climate change and sustainability. Global Entrepreneurship Week already has 37 countries on board, and expects more to join in the coming months. |
