Michigan is participating in Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), a celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity. The Week will bring together millions of young people across the globe through online and local activities and encourage them to think innovatively and unleash their ideas. Through a coordinated effort with many different countries, during one week every year, the world will celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit in hopes of inspiring a new generation of young entrepreneurs.
To date, Michigan has more than 80 partners and sponsors for activities that will take place in 83 counties in Michigan during GEW, November 16-22, 2009. I'm responsible for coordinating the initiative. All positions and activity coordinators are volunteers.
