The Alleviating Poverty Through Entrepreneurship (APTE) Summit 2010 at The Ohio State University will bring together students, professionals, and community members to connect with each other and learn about market-based approaches to solving poverty.

Poverty means not having access to basic human needs – such as food and clean water. 16,000 children die each day due to hunger. Two-thirds of people in the world lack access to clean water. Poverty robs people of their dignity and limits their ability to improve their lives.Type the title here

We can use entrepreneurship to increase access to opportunities and improve the quality of life for the poor around the world. Social entrepreneurship uses business practices and innovation to create solutions to society’s problems. Last year's APTE summit brochure.
