30日星期一，白宫官员宣布2015年全球创业峰会（2015 Global Entrepreneurship
Summit）将在肯尼亚的内罗毕（Nairobi）举行，成为第一次在非洲撒哈拉以南（sub-Saharan
Africa）地区主办的峰会。奥巴马总统将出席这次峰会。
即将举行的第六届全球创业峰会将为创业者提供相互联络的机会，听取专业人士的见解并吸引投资。前几届峰会分别由美国、土耳其、阿拉伯联合酋长国、马来西亚和摩洛哥等主办。
全球创业峰会的背景
全球创业峰会由奥巴马总统于2009年发起，每年举行一次，现已发展成一个集高层会议、网络活动、战略研讨会和创意竞争于一体的平台，积极宣传初创企业和较成熟企业的作用，努力释放世界经济的潜力。
6,000多名小企业业主、辅导人员、决策人员和投资者出席了去年的峰会。

为什么美国重视创业精神?
美国国务卿约翰·克里（John Kerry）指出，“美国通过自己的经验认识到，创业精神是 繁荣和自由的基本动力。”创业者为自己和他人都创造了机会。他们促进经济增长，创造工作岗位，提高了整个国家的实力。或许更重要的是，他们往往可以发现社会问题的解决方案。
此时此刻在世界各地，某一个初创企业正在开发新的清洁能源，另一个企业正在发展智能更高的电网，还有其他的企业正在为改善这些能源的储存方式进行研究。美国希望帮助他们将自己的创意转变为成功和可持续的业务，从而改变整个世界的面貌。

Why does the U.S. care about entrepreneurship?
As Secretary of State John Kerry said, “The United States has learned through its own experience that entrepreneurship is an essential driver of prosperity and of freedom.” Entrepreneurs create opportunities for themselves and others. They unlock economic growth, create jobs and empower entire nations. Perhaps more important, they often find solutions to social problems.
Somewhere in the world right now, there’s a startup developing a new source of clean energy, another working toward a smarter electric grid and still another devising an improved way to store all that energy. The United States wants to help them transform these ideas into successful and sustainable ventures, and thus transform the world.
What is the U.S. doing to support entrepreneurship abroad?
Through the
president’s
As the United States expands these efforts, it also will continue to work with other countries, businesses and nonprofit organizations to find new ways to light the world’s entrepreneurial spark.
