Global Entrepreneurship Week
Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) is as global as it gets, with 35 000 events happening simultaneously throughout week 47 in 125 countries.

Launched in 2008, today it’s expanded to over 170 countries and has 20 000 partnering organisations that all help to develop a strong base for GEN. This network connects communities and countries of diverse economy and maturity in the ecosystem, it fosters meaningful cross-border collaborations between investors, researches, entrepreneurs, policymakers and support organizations.
