Have Questions about Global Entrepreneurship Week?

---

Global Entrepreneurship Week takes place each November. This year it will take place November 8-14, 2021. 

 Global Entrepreneurship Week is the world’s largest celebration of the innovators and job creators who launch startups that bring ideas to life and drive economic growth, as well as the entrepreneur support organizations that support them. During one week each November, GEW inspires people everywhere through local, national and global activities designed to help them take the next step in their entrepreneurial journey. These activities, from large-scale competitions and events to intimate networking gathering, connect participants to potential collaborators, mentors and even investors – introducing them to new possibilities and exciting opportunities 

 GEW started in 2008 and has been growing steadily each year.  

 Everywhere. Global Entrepreneurship Week is not one single event – it is tens of thousands of events, activities and competitions happening in more than 170 countries.  

 More than 170 countries now celebrate GEW each November.  

 The Global Entrepreneurship Network leads the global campaign, which is powered by the Kauffman Foundation. 

 Anybody. Anywhere. Anytime. Organizations can get involved in a variety of capacities – planning events and activities as an official Community Organizer, planning committee, or as a local partner. Individuals interested in exploring their  entrepreneurial potential can find a broad array of activities – from local events to global competitions. Entrepreneurs and investors can share their ideas and experiences – face-to-face or online. How you get involved is up to you. If you want a little guidance, connect with your State Coordinator or Community Organizer here. 

 In addition to connecting face-to-face during GEW events and activities, participants can continue their conversations year-round through official GEW social media channels.
