What is Global Entrepreneurship Week?
Global Entrepreneurship Week is a worldwide initiative that is linking all those willing to embrace it. Countries all around the world are joining together to carry the banner of Global Entrepreneurship Week, an initiative aimed at young people everywhere.
During the week of 17 to 23 November 2008 partner organizations around the world will conduct a range of activities, from simple speeches to comprehensive competitions that are designed to inspire, connect, inform, mentor and engage the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Host organizations in each participating country are recruiting partners and coordinating related activities. The exact type of these activities, whether online or face-to-face, is limited only by the imaginations of the partners and the participants. Possible activities can include seminars, workshops, presentations, business plan and invention competitions, entrepreneurship film festivals, networking events, school-based activities and local entrepreneurship summits.
