The Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship will convene on April 26-27 at the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center in Washington, DC. It will include a diverse range of participants hailing from over 50 countries on five continents. The Summit will highlight the role entrepreneurship can play in addressing common challenges while building partnerships that will lead to greater opportunity abroad and at home.
In his June 4, 2009 speech in Cairo, President Obama called for a new relationship between the U.S. and Muslim communities around the world based on mutual respect, mutual interest, and mutual responsibility; a commitment to universal values; and broader engagement on issues including education, economic development, health, and science and technology. The Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship is an example of this broader engagement.
