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 November 17 - 23, 2008, partner organizations will conduct a range of activities - from simple speeches to comprehensive competitions - designed to inspire, connect, inform, mentor and engage the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Being an ambassador for your region is not only simple, it will also make permanent mark on New Zealand’s scale towards being known as a center for entrepreneurship around the world. There are many ways to get involved and to show that your region is active in the rise of Global Entrepreneurship Week NZ.
