Objectives of the Week

• Inspire. We introduce entrepreneurship to young people under the age of thirty

who otherwise might not have considered it as a career path.

• Connect. We network young people and organizations across national

boundaries to discover new ideas at the intersection of cultures and disciplines.

• Mentor. We enlist active and inspiring entrepreneurs around the world to coach

and mentor the next generation of enterprise talent as they pursue their dreams.

• Engage. We demonstrate to opinion leaders and policymakers how

entrepreneurship is central to a nation's economic health and culture, and give them the opportunity to learn about each other's entrepreneurial policies and practices.
