MediaSpark launches website to support Entrepreneurship around the world
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada – April 13, 2009 — MediaSpark Inc, an award-winning software development, publishing, and consulting company, announced the launch of EntreOasis: a groundbreaking social-networking website designed to support entrepreneurship activities around the globe — www.EntreOasis.com
Internet pioneer and Fortune 100 company Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) is the founding sponsor of EntreOasis, bringing global connections and resources to this entrepreneurship initiative.
In creating a powerful new platform for nurturing businesses, EntreOasis merges two successful Internet concepts: a member-generated collection of entrepreneurship resources, and a global social-networking platform. The result is a one-stop-shop that provides practical information and networking for entrepreneurs around the world, and for those that support, encourage, and influence them.
With EntreOasis, business owners, educators, economic development professionals, youth, adults, and parents can quickly and easily find what they need to ignite and nurture the entrepreneurial spark. This includes best practices, case studies, videos, podcasts, templates, lesson plans, simulations, and other resources sourced from around the world.
“The timing of this launch is significant,” says Mathew Georghiou, CEO of MediaSpark Inc. “The world needs entrepreneurs to help lead us out of this global recession and to create sustainable communities. But entrepreneurship education and support are highly fragmented. Finding the right people and resources to nurture entrepreneurship is far too difficult. We are pleased to be working with Cisco to offer a solution that will help change that.”
EntreOasis is a free Internet service. Users can correspond in the language(s) of their choice, contribute resources, or target audiences based on geography, language, or specific topics.
EntreOasis was designed, produced, and is managed by MediaSpark Inc., producers and publishers of the acclaimed GoVenture Educational Games and Simulations.
Founding sponsor Cisco, through the Cisco Entrepreneur Institute, is fostering entrepreneurship around the globe, with EntreOasis being one of its partnership initiatives. Working with local public and private sector organizations, Cisco's mission is to help communities and nations harness the power of entrepreneurship for economic and social prosperity.
