Something about the Global Entrepreneurship Congress

Carla and I attended two weeks ago the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Milan. It has been a powerful and exciting experience, because we waited a long to finally meet directly someone of the KaufmanFoundation, that we consider one of the best international institutions involved and aimed to entrepreneurship education at different levels.

What we saw exceeded our expectations, because we attended very helpful sessions; we heard very high profiles speeches and perspectives; we had the chance to meet Ms Wendy Torrance, director of Entrepreneurship at the Foundation, that has been so kind to listen to Carla and me about our work on training entrepreneurial attitudes in Italy. Thanks a lot Wendy!

In the exhibition area we also met Henrik Scheel, founder and CEO of Startup Experience, the great course that brings in the world the Silicon Valley entrepreneurship culture. We already knew him thanks to LinkedIn but to meet him in person it has been a lovely experience and we found very interesting talking with him about the importance of mindset. Because we share the same vision: the entrepreneurial attitudes are the very basis, non just if you want to open a new business but, more generally, if you want to change your life or the world around you.

So we would like to share the TedTalk that Henrik hold in Sacramento in 2012, because we consider it very illuminating. And we hope to start collaborating in the next future to empower Italy with a more entrepreneurial mindset!
