Erwan Fouere at the opening of GEW 2010EU ambassador in Macedonia, Mr. Erwan Fouere will speak at the opening of this year's Global Entrepreneurship Week that will happen from 15 to 21 November 2010 in Skopje in organization of the YES Foundation and APERM. Ambassador Fouere visit the YES Foundation on the 26 of October, 2010 in order to encourage the work of one such service that he believes can significantly contribute to reduce unemployment in Macedonia, which is one of the biggest challenges for the country right now. At the opening of the Global week he will express his support to young entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship, because as he says, and it can be supported by statistical data, "In Macedonia, most of the unemployed are young and talented people who can greatly contribute the development of the country”, and entrepreneurship is currently the only way out of this situation. Global Entrepreneurship week from 15-21 November
Only seven percent from the total population in Macedonia have ever considered starting a new business, the entrepreneurship is on very low level and in reality there are no institutions that provide financial support in this direction, there are no brands or initiatives for their creation, according to PSM Foundation which today announced the Global Entrepreneurship week. Mentality, lack of funds and fear from the future and the outcome are the main reasons why young people are not deciding to open their own businesses.
However, the interest is growing. With the training and education that we carry out for the last few years, slowly but surely we contribute to the development of the entrepreneurial spirit. Our idea is to motivate young people to start their own business instead of waiting a job at some government institution, said Marija Armenski- the incubator manager of PSM Foundation.
Her assessment is that almost none of the institutions provide financial support for development of entrepreneurship and the government provides very little in comparison with the Western countries.
One of the goals of the Global Entrepreneurship Week is actually the government institutions, NGO and the business sector, the international organizations and embassies to receive the message of how important is to invest in young people and their entrepreneurship spirit.
Creating successful Macedonian brand, the role of the woman in development of entrepreneurship, creating corporate responsibility of companies and spreading the culture of anti corruptive behavior between young people will be the main focus of the event.
The aim is to encourage the young people to create brands that will be competitive not only on the domestic but also on the foreign markets, stated Armenski.
The Global Entrepreneurship Week this year will be held from 15 to 21 of November in 88 countries including Macedonia. The event will include approximately 7,5 million young people . This event is organized as global since 2004. |
