The Week, Nov. 17-23, offers a first-ever, worldwide series of events to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship and encourage young people to become more innovative and entrepreneurial. In the United States, the Week includes a series of national events and hundreds of locally sponsored activities across the country. Founding sponsors for Global Entrepreneurship Week are the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in the United States and Make Your Mark in the United Kingdom.
“Innovation and entrepreneurship are the keys to developing businesses and creating jobs in any country,” said Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation. “The events and challenges that will take place during the Week will be fun, inspiring and transforming for young entrepreneurs.”
In addition to national events, the open source nature of the Week has given local organizations license to create and promote fun events in their cities and towns. Although this is by no means a complete list, here are 10 cool things to do during Global Entrepreneurship Week:
