In celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week,
Northwood University's Alden B. Dow Center for Creativity and Enterprise will host a variety of events and programming this week.
Invited to the event are community entrepreneurs, Northwood alumni, business professionals and start-up leaders. Participants will be introduced to a variety of programs aimed at helping aspiring and current entrepreneurs find the difference-making synergy between creativity and business enterprise.
"We're very excited to bring this week of events and programming to Northwood, the Great Lakes Bay Region and the state of Michigan," says Georgia Abbott, director of Northwood's Alden B. Dow Center for Creativity and Enterprise. "Our mission at Northwood is to educate the future leaders of a global free-enterprise society so the opportunity to couple this with the worldwide celebration of entrepreneurship is a huge point of pride for us."
There are a slew of events going on all week, including an open house at the center today from 4 to 7 p.m. and a business start-up "pitch" competition Wednesday.

"Global Entrepreneurship Week is about much more than celebrating past successes," says Abbott. "It's also an opportunity to inspire and highlight the new and future initiatives essential for turning around our state and national economies. If we are going to be great again we need to enlist the creative entrepreneurs who make that greatness possible and our events are aimed at doing just that."
