Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) works to gather entrepreneurs around the world – bringing new audiences together and strengthening the connections of local ecosystems everywhere.
GEW 2021 will take place in more than 180 countries with over 20,000 partners, 40,000 activities and 10 million people worldwide. The GEW team will be sharing a daily roundup of some of the amazing activities and events that are being planned and happening throughout GEW on every continent.
Through the GEW Daily Roundup, you will find a collection of 'global picks' that explore each of the four themes for this year's celebration: Education, Ecosystems, Policy and Inclusion. Below is a look at a handful of today's press coverage.
