GEN in United Kingdom
GEN has deep ties to the United Kingdom. In 2008, GEN launched Global Entrepreneurship Week in the UK as a national campaign to celebrate and promote entrepreneurship. It was an immediate success and the model quickly gained international traction. Today, GEW reaches more than 10 million people annually through over 40,000 events across 200 countries and territories. GEN’s work in the UK is supported by some of Britain’s most impactful ecosystem leaders as GEN Global Leaders. These individuals are deeply engaged in supporting entrepreneurship in the communities and fields, and many run GEN programs. GEN Global Leaders advise on program development, facilitate local and global connectivity, and amplify opportunities for founders, investors, and other ecosystem stakeholders.
