APO Forum for Promoting Entrepreneurship in Asia (Global Entrepreneurship Week Japan 2010) to be held in Kyoto, 18–21 November 2010

The APO Forum for Promoting Entrepreneurship in Asia will be held from 18 to 21 November 2010 in Kyoto, Japan. Entrepreneurs from APO member countries will participate in this forum to learn the keys to success in entrepreneurial activities and interact with Kyoto-based enterprises. This APO forum is part of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) events, which are held annually as part of a worldwide initiative to promote entrepreneurship in all regions.

In 2008, Make Your Mark (founded by four leading UK business membership organizations) and the Kauffman Foundation (the world's largest entrepreneurship foundation based in the USA) held the first GEW. Approximately 100 countries have participated in this event in the last two years and various entrepreneurial activities were held. In Japan, the Honda Foundation serves as the host of the GEW, and the APO cohosts along with many other partners while providing forums for Asian entrepreneurs from its member countries to learn from the associated activities.
