On the sidelines of the prospective organization of the huge “2014 Global Entrepreneurship Summit” event in Marrakesh, the U.S. department of state said in a press release on Tuesday that “the Government of Morocco has graciously opened its doors as the host, showing its shared commitment to promoting entrepreneurship in Africa and around the world.”
The statement went on further to add that “the theme of the Summit, “Harnessing the Power of Technology for Innovation and Entrepreneurship,” explores the positive impact of technology on innovation and entrepreneurship. Technology presents entrepreneurs with enormous opportunity. It gives them the power to reach beyond local communities and to tap into resources and expertise in other cities, countries, and continents. From using the internet for crowdfunding, to text messaging for real-time weather information, to collaborating in online chatrooms, technology is changing how entrepreneurs do business.
The event is set to take place on November 19-21, 2014 in Morocco’s incandescent city Marrakesh.
