ORGANIZATIONS

The National Commission on Entrepreneurship
“The National Commission on Entrepreneurship was created to focus public policy on the role of entrepreneurship in the national economy and to articulate policies that will foster its continued growth. The NCOE is a resource for anyone interested in entrepreneurship and public policy.” (http://www.ncoe.org/)

The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship
“NFTE's mission is to teach entrepreneurship to low-income young people, ages 11 through 18, so they can become economically productive members of society by improving their academic, business, technology, and life skills.” (http://www.nfte.com/)

United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship
“USASBE is a non-profit organization devoted to continuing management education for entrepreneurs and small business. USASBE was founded on the belief that enlightened small business management is necessary for successful profitable small business, that successful small businesses are essential to our national economy, and that entrepreneurship needs to be fostered to stimulate a dynamic and growing economic system.” (http://www.usasbe.org/)

Global Entrepreneurship Institute
“We are a non-profit digital think-tank devoted to helping high tech entrepreneurs around the world. Since 1999, we have helped more than 50,000 entrepreneurs through our books, software, and educational services. We work as a non-profit "open source" online resource for high tech entrepreneurs.” (http://www.gcase.org/)

Global Entrepreneurship Monitor
“The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research program is an annual assessment of the national level of entrepreneurial activity. Initiated in 1999 with 10 countries, expanded to 21 in the year 2000, with 29 teams in 2001, it expects close to 40 national teams in 2002. The research program, based on a harmonized assessment of the level of national entrepreneurial activity for all participating countries, involves exploration of the role of entrepreneurship in national economic growth. Systematic differences continue, with few highly entrepreneurial countries reflecting low economic growth. There is, further, a wealth of national features and characteristics associated with entrepreneurial activity.” (http://www.gemconsortium.org/)
