This November, GEW 2020 is rallying almost every nation in the world to empower their entrepreneurs and encourage their citizens to become starters – finding new and better ways of doing things. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and its unprecedented impact, GEW 2020 is a call to action for all societies to be resilient and come together in leveraging the power of new ideas and innovation for the benefit of all.
This official launch event will feature a virtual 'State of the Union' for entrepreneurship in 180 countries from Jonathan Ortmans, founder of Global Entrepreneurship Week. National campaign leaders from Brazil, China, New Zealand, Nigeria, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain and the United States will share anticipated highlights from their respective countries.
