Global Entrepreneurship Week

At a time of economic crisis all over the world, and when existing models have shown their limitations, entrepreneurship has emerged as a genuine solution to boost recovery.  World Entrepreneurship Forum is the first global think-tank dedicated to entrepreneurs, creators of wealth and social justice. Since 2008, 350 members from 76 countries have met to tackle our world’s most pressing issues with entrepreneurial solutions.

Next week, Nov. 18-24, 2013 is the Global Entrepreneurship Week!

So happy to be part of this – we can change the world....
