CNBC just started a new series this week called “The Good Entrepreneur” (http://www.goodentrepreneur.com). It’s actually a competition to “identify entrepreneurs across Europe with environmentally responsible business concepts.” I’m always happy to see anything that encourages entrepreneurship, especially in down economies.

We were pumped up because CNBC asked our CEO, Bob, to write an article for the series launch about why downturns are actually a good time to start a new company (http://tinyurl.com/nhxbno), since he has now done that two times in a row.

They’ve also featured an interesting article by Niels Billou, Assistant Professor at the European School of Management and Technology on what governments have to do to promote entrepreneurship in times of crisis (http://tinyurl.com/nktxag).

Looking forward to some great new ideas springing from this CNBC initiative.
