We can see that entrepreneurs are becoming younger now, and many young business schools and engineering graduates are brave enough to start their own business when they leave school.
The background of Entrepreneurship:
(1) In the face of today's economic downturn, young people must make choices. We can see that entrepreneurs are becoming younger now, and many young business schools and engineering graduates are brave enough to venture out of school, and they have no work experience. Only entrepreneurs are vibrant enough to get out of the haze of economic gloom.
(2) Governments in research and development and education continue to increase investment in the hope of transforming into an innovative economy as soon as possible, but the commercialization of scientific research and patents, will require a large number of innovators, entrepreneurs and subversion.
(3) The parents of young people often choose to enter a large group of enterprises in order to get a regular and stable job. But a new generation of young people has no such safe protection. Self-employment is now a free and independent form of work that is not available to large groups of companies.
(4) Independent entrepreneurship is the perfect combination of career yearning and personal longing. According to the survey, more than half of the respondents said that the challenge of choosing self-employment was driven by a desire for freedom and independence, and for its own full development. The desire to make money is in the third place. The three personal values that inspire future entrepreneurs best: Respect, courage, and the enjoyment of work and struggle.
Second, the world of entrepreneurship in all aspects:
In general, the richer the country is, the less restrictive it is in business. Nowadays, the convenient conditions and preferential policies provided by Governments and various organizations in the world are open to students and entrepreneurial teams.
(1) United States: In today's United States, more than half of citizens either start their own businesses or work in entrepreneurial SMEs. In the past, large enterprises have the latest High-tech, everyone save time to work in a large studio to communicate. But now everyone has a cell phone, a computer, and the most effective way to work is to communicate at home or in a small studio. Today, the United States, whether it is a start-up hardware environment, or entrepreneurial capital environment, entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial internal mechanism are in the world's leading position.
(2) Israel: Over the past 20 years, the world's eyeballs have largely invested in entrepreneurs who innovate to change the world.

According to the advisory information, 78.8% of Israelis are optimistic about the future, while 89% of Israelis believe they will stand up when they need it.
The series of wars and threats that Israel has endured have made them more resilient and have not diminished their optimism. This tenacity, optimism and happiness are fertile ground for entrepreneurs. Their creativity can cope with even greater challenges, and will breed innovative economies in the entrepreneurial country. As a small country, Israel's entrepreneurial story has many worthy of reflection. Its entrepreneurial spirit may not be comprehensive, but also enough to glimpse, and give people a reference and enlightenment.

Both public and private industries across France are posturing in good faith, offering entrepreneurs a cheap working environment, special visas, and even state subsidies. In France, the government hopes to boost growth through new business developments.
(5) Germany: German entrepreneurial sentiment is generally low, less than 50% of Germans in the gem survey to say that entrepreneurship is attractive to them, while the opposite of their neighbors, about 65% of the French, 68% of Poles and 79% of the Dutch have shown a small interest in entrepreneurship. According to the survey, Germany's willingness to start a year of entrepreneurship is lower because the Germans are very cautious about the risks and the second is not enough tolerance of failure, the people who run the enterprise will be under pressure from the society. The first is the lack of funds. Small companies need angel investors and venture capital to survive and develop. But these resources are very limited in Germany. German risk investors are very cautious and do not expect the company to show explosive growth. Germans are in a rut, quiet, rigorous and steady. But entrepreneurship needs speed. About 42% of Germans are away from entrepreneurship for this reason, much higher than the 32% in the United States, and many Americans are proud that they have had a failed entrepreneurial experience.
