Rt. Hon. David Cameron - UK Prime Minister

National Entrepreneurship Month
By the President of the United States of America
From inventing the traffic light to developing the artificial heart, our Nation's doers,
makers, and entrepreneurs have proven time and again that, in America, it takes only a
single good idea and the courage to pursue it to change history. In fulfilling this simple
promise, these visionaries play a critical role in sparking new industries, expanding our
economy, and generating new job growth across our country.
This month, we celebrate the remarkable and everyday successes of our entrepreneurs and innovators, and we reaffirm our
commitment to ensuring that our economy remains the engine and the envy of the world. (…)To fast track our startups and enable them
to bring products to market more quickly, I signed the America Invents Act in September of this year. This essential legislation will help
entrepreneurs and inventors secure a patent three times faster than they can today, drastically cutting the time it takes to roll out novel
technologies and products. The Act will also improve the quality of our patents and do more to give entrepreneurs the protection and
confidence they need to attract investment, grow their businesses, and hire more workers. We stand at a moment when our Nation's
economy must become more dynamic and flexible than ever before, and these reforms will help us meet this challenge.
(…) With the help of experienced entrepreneurs and companies, and through events like Global Entrepreneurship Week, which begins
on November 14, we can ensure our startups have access to the resources, connections, and partnerships that will promote their
success. To encourage great ideas in all parts of our country, our lending institutions, foundations, and investors can finance vibrant
entrepreneurial ecosystems that extend to our rural and underserved communities. By pooling our talents and investing in the creativity
and imagination of our people, we can move forward with the spirit of hope and ambition that has defined our past and will drive our
20 Nation in the years to come.
