Launching New Ventures in a Global Economy

“ The new entrepreneurs are entrepreneurs without borders. They reach across industries, markets, and communities and cross language, cultural, geographic, political, and economic barriers to launch new businesses on new platforms to serve global markets. In doing so, they go above and beyond human imagination – empowering people, engaging socieities, and breaking political and geographical boundaries to build sustainable, socially responsible enterprises that solve big problems. ”
