In several recent years, the Kauffman Foundation has hosted Entrepreneurship Week USA, or E-Week. Well now it’s truly a global event with schools and organizations around the world holding activities to promote entrepreneurship. Global Entrepreneurship Week 2008 starts in just 4 days!

Visit UnleashingIdeas.org to learn more and view the video below for more about Global Entrepreneurship Week.

For local Sacramento readers, Ricardo Robles of Capsity Offices has been working overtime to bring Entrepreneurship Week activities to the Sacramento area for the first time:

“Be a part of an international celebration of entrepreneurship as it rolls through Sacramento Nov. 17 -23. The future of Sacramento’s young, green, mobile, diverse, motivated, musical and artistic business leadership will discuss the strategies, challenges and opportunities they face every day. With Global Entrepreneurship Week we will seek to acquire the knowledge, skills, networks and values needed to grow innovative, sustainable enterprises that have a positive impact on our lives and the lives of those around us.

For the first time Sacramento will join over 77 countries in an initiative to Inspire, Connect, Mentor and Engage millions of young minded individuals for a better future. Global Sponsors and Partners that have joined in the efforts of Global Entrepreneurship Week include: Kauffmann Foundation, Ernst & Young, IBM, NYSE Euro next, and more. Please see the flyer for further information.”
