U.S. Mission Celebrates Global Entrepreneurship Week with UNCTAD
For Global Entrepreneurship Week, the U.S. Mission co-sponsored a town hall at the United Nations in Geneva "Women's Empowerment through Entrepreneurship". The event organized in conjunction with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), WIPO, ILO, ITC, the Youth Employment Network, UNDP, UNITAR, and the Mexican Mission to the UN Offices in Geneva included entrepreneurs from the United States, Mexico and Colombia and from organizations that support entrepreneurs in Ethiopia and Switzerland. Ambassador Betty E. King remarked that entrepreneurship for women is a "vital source of growth. By increasing women's participation in the economy and enhancing their efficiency and productivity, we can dramatically enhance the competitiveness and growth of our economies."
