U.S. President Barack Obama launched the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in 2009 to support innovators and job creators globally.

The 6th Annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit on July 25-26 in Nairobi, Kenya, brings together entrepreneurs and investors from around the world to showcase innovative projects, exchange new ideas, and help spur economic opportunity.
