Ambassador Andrew Schapiro opened the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, the major event of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2015, organized in the Czech Republic by the European Leadership and Academic Institute (ELAI) on November 19. The Summit is titled “From Survivors to Winners,” and is focused on entrepreneurs, startups, policy experts, and others.
One of the things that Ambassador Schapiro stressed was: “A country that welcomes people and allows them to follow their ambitions and develop their potential has an advantage over those that don’t. Foreigners run nearly half the technology startups in Silicon Valley.”
