In two weeks, Global Entrepreneurship Week kicks off with more than 40,000 events spread out over a seven day period in 123 countries. At competitions like Startup Open for the most promising new startups in 60 countries, to tournaments for cleantech ideas, at stadiums where entrepreneurship will meet music and sports, from heads of state to high school competitions, Global Entrepreneurship Week has become a movement for the next generation of startups and entrepreneurs inspired by the possibility of human endeavor for the benefit of all.
Why do nearly 10 million people across the globe turn up at these events with millions more engaging on-line?
From a practical perspective for the curious individual, Global Entrepreneurship Week offers a chance to look inside ourselves and “try it out” risk-free. While some activities may have more drama and fun than others, the most you can lose is a little of your time. It offers citizens across the globe a chance to learn that new firm formation is a team sport enabled by informal networking--and provides them with an opportunity to meet potential collaborators, mentors and even investors. It offers us the chance to explore whether at some point in our career, we too might give birth to an idea and perhaps even make a job for someone else. It gives everyone a glimpse of themselves controlling their destiny and being a little closer to achieving that common human desire to do well and good in the world.
