Entrepreneurship Week Canada is aligned with Global Entrepreneurship Week, taking place November 17-23, 2008.
Global Entrepreneurship Week is a worldwide effort to bring together likeminded people across the world to celebrate and promote the spirit of entrepreneurship to youth. It is an idea that spawned from Enterprise Week UK, which first began in 2004. Last year, Global Entrepreneurship Week engaged over 2,720 partner organizations and more than 900,000 individuals. In 2008, 56 countries will join together to form this global movement.
The concept behind the campaign is simple; one-week dedicated to celebrating entrepreneurship across Canada. At the heart of this celebration will be the events that are run throughout the week, which will be hosted by partnering organizations. The events will vary in nature, but will all hold the common theme of promoting entrepreneurship to youth. The goal is to gather support from as many partners as possible to bring attention to entrepreneurship both locally and nationally. For more information please visit, http://eweekcanada.com.
