Inculcating an entrepreneurial spirit in young people is what drives the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation. This is the reason why the Foundation is energised for the forthcoming Global Entrepreneurship Week, which runs from 15 – 21 November 2010. This is an event that will see the world come together to embrace the innovation, imagination, creativity and possibilities that could be unleashed by entrepreneurial thinking.

The Foundation will be taking part in the event through activities geared at raising public awareness about the power of entrepreneurial thinking. This includes our CEO, Anthony Farr speaking at the Cape Town Entrepreneurship Week on 18 November 2010 at the Cape Town Convention Centre. While countries across the six continents gear up for this global event, it is the Foundation’s hope that each of us can do our bit to ignite an entrepreneurial mindset amongst peers and within our communities. It is through unleashing this that we can unlock economic growth and create a vibrant and sustainable economy tomorrow.
