Global Entrepreneurship Week Algeria: Government Entities Take Lead Partnership Role
Situation
In Algeria, Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW)—hosted nationally by GEN Algeria—reaches 245,000 participants including students, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders. More than 6,000 events are organized with support from 844 partners—80% of which are government entities—across 58 cities.
“Global Entrepreneurship Week has been a driving force in fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development,” said Wafae Harrir, program director at GEN Algeria. “It is a cornerstone event that empowers aspiring entrepreneurs, connects key ecosystem players, and supports policy initiatives to enhance the startup landscape.”
Approach
Over the years, GEW Algeria has grown exponentially in both scope and influence. Events range from high-impact panel discussions and pitch competitions to mentorship sessions and policy roundtables that drive tangible change.
Tech entrepreneur Salem Hamdi highlighted the impact on the ground:
“GEW Algeria not only gave visibility to our startups but also created meaningful connections across the ecosystem. We've engaged with policymakers, inspired youth across regions, and scaled ideas that matter."
In 2024, GEN Algeria secured the official patronage of the Ministry of the Economy, Knowledge, Startups, and Micro Enterprises. This recognition underscored the importance of GEW’s work in shaping national entrepreneurship policies.
Impact
GEW Algeria has fostered cross-sector collaborations by engaging leading universities, incubators, and corporate partners to provide hands-on support for entrepreneurs. With strong government backing, expansive partner networks, and diverse programming, the campaign continues to strengthen Algeria’s startup ecosystem—empowering aspiring entrepreneurs, connecting key stakeholders, and driving forward national economic development.
