Global Themes 2019
The 12th edition of Global Entrepreneurship Week gives special prominence to
four key global themes for the entrepreneurial ecosystem:
Education, Ecosystem, Inclusion, and Policy.
- GEW Education: Global Entrepreneurship Week celebrates the tools and programs used by different communities to improve resource sharing, entrepreneurial awareness, and the provision of tools to boost the entrepreneurial world.
- GEW Ecosystem (entrepreneurial ecosystems): Inspiring communities to collaborate and share their networks and markets to foster business development and growth, one of the main objectives of GEW 2019.
- GEW Inclusion (social inclusion): This year, Entrepreneurship Week will emphasize the improvements being made worldwide to minimize barriers and obstacles for entrepreneurs by maximizing their inclusion.
- GEW Policy (political support): The importance of governments and legislators is key to helping entrepreneurs everywhere start and scale their businesses. For this reason, GEW 2019 will highlight the role that these actors play in the development of entrepreneurial initiatives.
