Global Entrepreneurship Week – where you can find us

Global Entrepreneurship Week

Global Entrepreneur Week is the world’s largest campaign to promote enterprise and entrepreneurship. Events will be taking place simultaneously across countries around the world, all with the aim of empowering different generations, cultures and sectors to start and grow their own businesses while improving skills and confidence.

The scheme was launched in 2008 and has since expanded to more than 160 countries. The 2016 programme is taking place between 14th-20th November with hundreds of workshops and seminars taking place across London.

GEW presents a great opportunity for you to improve your skills, network with like-minded business people or simply hear about success stories from some of the country’s leading entrepreneurs.

Throughout the week we will be taking part and delivering workshops across London. You can find out where we are going to be below and we would love it if you could join us.
