Media Outlet/Publication: Global Entrepreneurship Week
I’m not a reporter, but Peter has graciously allowed me to post a query for young entrepreneurs in high-growth industries (technology, bioscience, etc.) We would like to pitch entrepreneurs (under 30) as sources for Global Entrepreneurship Week, Nov. 17 - 23, which is sponsored in the U.S. by the Kauffman Foundation and Make your Mark in the U.K. Nearly 65 countries will participate in the Week through a series of local, open-source events to encourage young people to become more innovative and entrepreneurial. The entrepreneurs can help promote the Week by telling their entrepreneurship stories. We aren’t looking for them to be spokespersons for the Week, per se. We believe that by sharing their experiences, the entrepreneurs will encourage others. You can find out more about Global Entrepreneurship Week at www.unleashingideas.org
