An interesting press release just came across my inbox, encouraging European entrepreneurs to apply to World to NYC on August 6th to 8th. It’s a 3-day program, free for selected participants, tailored to help international entrepreneurs expand to New York. It’s organized by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the city’s official development organization.

I’m a firm believer in more working and less networking, but I can certainly imagine some of you benefiting substantially from an opportunity to schmooze in New York. Mayor Bloomberg thinks so, too:

Applications are due on June 11th.
