Global Entrepreneurship Week scheduled for November 17-23, 2008, is part of a global initiative sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation to inspire young people to embrace innovation, imagination, and creativity. The intended outcome of the events is for young people to grow innovative, sustainable enterprises with a positive impact on their lives and the lives of those around them. The Missouri Rural Enterprise and Innovation Center will join Truman State University School of Business in hosting programming for Global Entrepreneur Week events on the Truman State campus in Kirksville, MO.

Several events are planned. One event that is planned is, “Pitch-It” will provide students with the opportunity to present their proposed business plans and to receive feedback from local entrepreneurs and the Missouri Rural Enterprise and Innovation Center on their plan’s viability as a business.
