Global Entrepreneurship Week (17 Nov – 23 Nov 2014)

Global Entrepreneurship Week is the world’s largest campaign to promote entrepreneurship. Each year, it plays a critical role in encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs to consider starting up their own business.

From the 17th until the 23rd of November, Global Entrepreneurship Week inspires people everywhere through local, national and global activities designed to help them explore their potential as self-starters and innovators. These activities, from large-scale competitions and events to intimate networking gatherings, connect participants to potential collaborators, mentors and even investors—introducing them to new possibilities and exciting opportunities.

Global Entrepreneurship Week continues to attract and engage high-profile entrepreneurs who are enthusiastic to share their personal experiences and insights. Meanwhile, world leaders on each continent and local elected officials alike have embraced the campaign as they look to fuel the economic engine of high-growth startups in their own countries and communities.

For many people, the thought of starting up their own business is overwhelming, and many entrepreneurs don’t make it to the next stage because they don’t make the right connections. So this year we are asking participants to Get Connected.

Sign up to host or attend an event today, and prepare to Get Connected!

List of events can be found here.

In the UK the Global Entrepreneurship Week campaign is hosted by Youth Business International, a global network dedicated to helping young entrepreneurs get started in business.
