Entrepreneur Week creates opportunities for business students

Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) is an annual event that seeks to help aspiring entrepreneurs bring out their originality and ingenuity through local and global activities.

For example, this is the third year Babson has honored GEW by hosting a variety of activities. One event is called Seed Trackers: Networking Reception, which is for students who have an early stage business idea. Participants have the opportunity to learn about how to start their own seed fund.

The ninth annual Babson Forum on Entrepreneurship and Innovation aims to raise awareness of opportunities for entrepreneurs. During the full-day conference, 600 students and Boston professionals will gather to hear four keynote addresses and 30 speakers.

Entrepreneur War Stories - Lessons Learned and Tips on Bringing Consumer Products to Market in a Crowded Space features entrepreneurs' tips on how to bring a product to market.

The annual event was created to bring professionals in this industry together and help aspiring entrepreneurs gain valuable networking opportunities.
