Beginning today, GlobalAustin, in partnership with Meridian, is hosting an #IVLP delegation from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Tunisia, Egypt, Palestinian Territories, and Morocco for a project titled “Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development.”⁠ ⁠ During their time here, the delegation will be impacting the community by:⁠ • Observing the effectiveness of the business sector in creating jobs and alleviating poverty worldwide; • Examining the legal and regulatory systems that allow entrepreneurs to flourish, and identify policies that may discourage such enterprises; • Discussing societal barriers facing entrepreneurs, especially women and other disadvantaged groups, and best practices in overcoming these restrictions; and • Exploring various business models, support mechanisms, and innovations such as micro-lending, multi-level marketing, the use of the internet, and others. #ExchangesImpact #ExchangeMatters #IVLPCommunity #IAmDiplomacy #CitizenDiplomacy #PublicDiplomacy
