Global Entrepreneurship Week will bring millions of people together to participate in 40,000 activities across 200 countries and all 50 U.S. states. GEW celebrates our most creative, innovative, and resilient citizens who are aiming to inspire and empower others from all backgrounds to become part of a more sustainable and equitable post-pandemic world. The LaunchPad’s annual Impact Prize Competition on November 12 is part of GEW and showcases young innovators who are making their mark by shining a spotlight on the Syracuse startup ecosystem.
This November, Global Entrepreneurship Network commemorates 13 years of helping people unleash their ideas to start and scale new businesses through Global Entrepreneurship Week. The campaign began in 2008 and has quickly grown to become a comprehensive effort that engages entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, researchers, support organizations and others collaborating to advance economic growth and innovation in more than 200 countries around the world.
