GEN in Barbados

The Global Entrepreneurship Network began operating in Barbados when it partnered with the Barbados Youth Business Trust to conduct the annual Global Entrepreneurship Week campaign and the Entrepreneurship World Cup.  Barbados has many entrepreneurs, including women, celebrities and young adults, who participate at a high rate. Because of this, Barbados has a high level of early-stage entrepreneurial activity for a small island state. GEN is actively engaged in coordinating a cohesive environment for the development of entrepreneurship in Barbados. This is fostered through activities to celebrate, understand, support and connect ecosystem leaders both locally and globally.

GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT

Entrepreneurs Thrive Here: Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026

Millions of people around the world have the ideas, talent, and ambition to build something better for themselves and their communities — but have never seen entrepreneurship as a path available to them. Global Entrepreneurship Week, taking place November 16-22, 2026, changes that. This campaign meets people where they are and connects them to the networks, tools, and support to take that first step — showing what’s possible in their own communities.
