We are living in a world of incredible challenge and changes,

this also means it is a world of ample opportunities. From the fall
of the Berlin Wall to the rise of e-commerce and social media,
there are now, today, more markets, tools, and opportunities for
entrepreneurs than ever before. Even better: we are now also living
in a world more predisposed to entrepreneurial solutions than ever,
and we need those solutions–not just to create the Next Big
Thing, but to solve the Next Big Problem. Every issue that
individuals, communities, and nations face offers the entrepreneur
the chance to make a difference. For anyone ready to embark on a
mission to solve problems, create communities, build businesses,
tap technology, and think entrepreneurially, this new world is
teeming with opportunities for success.

global entrepreneurial revolution and its vital importance for our
future
