Global Entrepreneurship Week seeks to:

Inspire: Introduce the notion of enterprising behavior to as many young people under the age of 30 who otherwise might not have considered it as a path in their life

Connect: Network young people across national boundaries in a global effort to find new ideas at the intersection of cultures and disciplines

Inform: Demonstrate that the drive to nurture enterprising talent needs business, education, government, voluntary organisations and the media to work together no single sector or organisation working in isolation can create opportunities on this ambitious scale

Mentor: Enlist active and inspirational entrepreneurs around the world to coach and mentor the next generation of enterprise talent as they pursue their entrepreneurial dreams

Engage: To inform opinion leaders and policy makers that entrepreneurship is central to a nation's economic health and culture and to provide different nations with the opportunity to learn from each other on entrepreneurial policy and practice.
