Entrepreneurs Organization is dedicated to promoting and expanding entrepreneurial ethos and to help transform ideas into realities. EO’s Global Student Entrepreneur Awards is a catalyst that inspires students and young people to start and grow entrepreneurial ventures. From creating a business plan to turning a profit, each of these students built successful companies during one of the toughest economies, while taking a full course load of classes. Ranging from service provider companies to fashion to green industry initiatives, this event is more than a competition; it’s a look at the future of global business, how the game is changing and the new networks of young entrepreneurs that are re-writing the rules.
