Transcript for Hillary Clinton supports the goals of Global Entrepreneurship Week

I am delighted to speak to you today

as you gather for the Kauffman foundation's

Global Entrepreneurship Week

your efforts to build new opportunities and

businesses are helping to drive economic growth

and improve people's lives around the world

Global Entrepreneurship Week will be celebrated in

85 countries by millions of people

so I want to thank the Kauffman Foundation

for taking the lead as the largest foundation worldwide

devoted exclusively to entrepreneurism

along with Enterprise UK

you have helped bring this global movement to live

and foster growth an opportunity during this

difficult period of global economy recovery

the obama administration is dedicated to

boosting entrepreneurism both in the United States and in other countries

where talent is wide spread but opportunity often is not

and we're focusing greater attention on women and the young people

who are too often marginalized but not only can

must be important catalysts for progress

ensuring that everyone in society has an opportunity

to make the most of their talents

and fulfill their god given potential is critical

to widening economic prosperity

as well as the stability and the security

that goes along with it

so we can't afford to leave out anyone

who has an idea a dream an invention or innovation

and a desire to work hard to make that a reality

as president Obama said in his inaugural address

it has been the risk takers the doers the makers the thing

who have carried us up the long ragged pass

to our prosperity and freedom

so Global Entrepreneurship Week reflects

a sense of collective responsibility

to encourage young minds to pursue fresh ideas

and unleash the full range of the human potential

on behalf of president Obama and all of the American people

thank you for taking on this critically important task

and best of luck in building your dreams

for a brighter future
