Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurs produce solutions that fly in the face of established knowledge, and they are unafraid to challenge the status quo. They are risk-takers who pursue opportunities that others may fail to recognize, and they see a challenge to be solved in what others may view as a threat to flee. Entrepreneurs embrace strategic change, creativity, knowledge, innovation and flexibility and are increasingly important sources of competitiveness in an increasingly globalized world economy.

The University of Alberta Faculty of Extension Citation in Entrepreneurship is designed to foster this entrepreneurial spirit and embrace the competitive progressive movement of our culture. This citation empowers participants to maximize individual and collective success, on an economic and social scale, in all levels of society — local, national, and global.
