TargetGov Celebrates the Vital Role Entrepreneurs Play in Innovation, Job Creation and Economic Recovery as a Partner in Global Entrepreneurship Week 2009
TargetGov joins more than 650 organizations in the United States to educate and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs Nov. 16 - 22.

ELKRIDGE, MD, August 26, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This November, young people around the globe will get together to change the world. To celebrate the vital role entrepreneurs play in innovation, job creation and economic recovery, TargetGov is participating in Global Entrepreneurship Week on Nov. 16 - 22, 2009 to inspire, connect, mentor and engage young people.

As a part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, TargetGov will hold a No-Cost teleconference, "How To Do Business With The World's Fortune One Customer," on November 17, 2009 to learn about how you can start doing business with the U.S. Federal Government. Hear real-life experiences from business owners who started as very small businesses and have become multi-million dollar firms through government contracting.

Co-founded in 2008 by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in the United States and Make Your Mark, a business-led government-backed campaign in the United Kingdom, Global Entrepreneurship Week will connect young people through local, national and global activities designed to help them explore their potential as self-starters and innovators. Students, educators, entrepreneurs, business leaders, employees, non-profit leaders, government officials and others will participate in a host of activities that include virtual and face-to-face events, large-scale competitions and intimate networking gatherings.

In 2009, the Week is estimated to exceed the 3 million people and 8,800 organizations around the globe that participated in the inaugural Global Entrepreneurship Week in 2008. Already, more than 650 organizations in more than 80 countries have signed up.

"I think it is important for TargetGov to participate in events, such as Global Entrepreneurship Week, because getting young people involved in small business leads to innovation, and especially in these tough economic times, that is truly what's needed," said Gloria Berthold Larkin, President of TargetGov. "Plus, I believe it is important that we try to instill in young people how important their contributions to business can be, no matter their age."

"The world knows that entrepreneurship is the key to economic recovery, and the next generation of innovators holds that key," said Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation. "Now more than ever, we need to unleash the creativity and ingenuity of our youth by engaging them in the endless possibilities of entrepreneurship."
