Campus Entrepreneurship

  Just received a notice about the Young Entrepreneurs Talent & Innovation Competition of the Americas. According to their website,

2008 the Young Americas Business Trust (YABT) will host the second edition of the Talent and Innovation Competition of the Americas (TIC Americas), an opportunity for young people worldwide to develop and present their business ideas to a diverse international audience.

These initiatives will develop the extraordinary business potential of innovative young entrepreneurs and scientists, in collaboration with sponsors globally and from the thirty-four Member States of the Organization of American States (OAS).

 

YABT, a private sector affiliate of the General Secretariat of the OAS, offers opportunities to reinforce young entrepreneur programs through corporate marketing campaigns visibly and tangibly to:

• Connect with the future of business in the Americas and globally and the extraordinary potential that enterprising young entrepreneurs embody
• Be recognized globally and in the context of the OAS as leading young entrepreneurs and corporate citizens of the Americas.

Received this email from a social venture campus entrepreneur, Dean Davastar:

I’m an MBA student myself at Mason and I’ve been running a social entrepreneurship firm for about two years and am about to officially finalize opening a branch at George Mason University. We started at UVA and we work towards global prosperity and multicultural understanding. We’re called Komak. You can find us at komakus.com. 

BTW, komak means ‘help’ in Farsi.
