Entrepreneurship with a Difference – Hope Through Entrepreneurship
Singapore 2nd July 2007 , Spirit of Enterprise awards focuses on honoring and inspiring a wider cross section of entrepreneurs in Singapore. Instead of only honoring highly established entrepreneurs, the Spirit of Enterprise award seeks to recognize budding entrepreneurs who have exhibited much enterprise and spirit in their entrepreneurial pursuits.
Programs covers educating students in entrepreneurship through projects in school and through the interview process with would be honorees of their entrepreneurship journey, thereby inspiring the young minds to think about entrepreneurship.
SOE honors entrepreneurs who have dared to take the road less traveled, and seeks to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs by getting students to interview them.
How does entrepreneurship offer Hope? It is our belief that by helping more entrepreneurs especially the smaller ones SOE are helping the society as a whole with improving livelihood of their families and creating employment. The tag line of “Hope Through entrepreneurship” summarizes it all.
