can encourage entrepreneurs in any field, through incubation, skill
building, mentorship, sharing resources and collaboration between small

us for ITU

12-15, 2015 to network, showcase and pitch their
ideas, participate in workshops, win seed funding, and benefit from a
year of ongoing mentorship.
Within
the ITU and throughout the UN, entrepreneurship has been singled out as
a priority. This year, ITU Telecom World will be focused on small
businesses and startups, and we
are excited to have the chance to bring young people with businesses in
this area to the event. Many have all highlighted the role that
entrepreneurship plays not only in creating the economies of the future,
but in reshaping the lives of the individual entrepreneurs
and those around them. This is how we bring new products to market.
This is how we help communities to develop. This is how individuals turn
their ideas into reality.
