On the 14th November 2022, GENGlobal's 'Global Entrepreneurship Week' kicked off, you guessed it...across the globe! GEN Global is a global movement active in 200 countries, working with entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, public bodies and support organisations.
2022 marks 15 years of Global Entrepreneurship Week with GEWUK celebrating entrepreneurship through events, activities and competitions taking place across the nations of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.
"Join us as we celebrate all those entrepreneurs who risk their own capital, time and energy in creating solutions to change our world for the better. I must also highlight those mentors who give up their time, open their networks and dedicate their energies to help entrepreneurs succeed. Thank you all, your efforts are greatly appreciated." - Russell Dalgleish, GENUK's National Director Scotland
This year's theme is Grow With Purpose and every day throughout the week has a different key focus:
The Official Launch Day for GEW UK 2022 in partnership with NatWest took place at Bishopsgate Conference Centre, London and was a roaring success.
