Dell has called on entrepreneurs, partners and the public to support its #EntrepreneursUNite petition encouraging the UN General Assembly to adopt the proposed Goal 8 when it votes to agree the Sustainable Development Goals on 15 September.
Goal 8 supports both the job creators and jobless by promoting sustained, inclusive economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all – conditions Dell believes are prerequisites to achieving the other 16 goals under consideration by the UN.
If passed, Goal 8 will serve as a road map for every country to enhance entrepreneurship through laws, regulations, market access and more.
#EntrepreneursUNite is a global movement led by Dell CEO Michael Dell. It’s a worldwide petition to rally support from the public, entrepreneurs and private sector leaders, as well as Dell customers, partners and team members for United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8.
Dell strongly believes that entrepreneurs, and the jobs they are creating, are the engines driving the global economy. Globally they are responsible for 70-90% of net new jobs, while they continue to fuel innovative solutions to drive human progress on our planet.
Niamh Townsend, general manager, Dell Ireland, (pictured) said: “Dell has a strong history in entrepreneurship. Our founder and CEO Michael Dell started Dell in his dorm room and since then over 30 years ago we have remained passionate about supporting entrepreneurs in all of the communities in which we operate. Globally, we run the Dell for Entrepreneurs community which is a virtual network which provides support for entrepreneurs and connects them with their peers globally.
“It was because of our day to day dealings with the entrepreneur community that Dell became about Goal 8 and started to champion the #EntrepreneursUNite petition. Dell has challenged itself to gather signatures on the petition by September 15th 2015. This is the date when the next UN General Assembly will meet and Dell will present them with the petition to ensure Goal 8 is passed.”
