On the eve of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), the world’s largest celebration of innovation and entrepreneurship, we are excited to announce that we have become the newest member of the .CO family: GEW.co.
After more than five years at unleashingideas.org, we are embracing the brevity and simplicity of our new domain--a full 13 characters shorter.
Beyond that, we are excited about the switch to .CO because of their commitment to startups and entrepreneurs around the world. In just over three years since its launch, .CO has become one of the most successful global domain extensions with close to 1.5 million web addresses registered in more than 200 countries--including Twitter (t.co), AngelList (angel.co) 500 Startups (500.co) and others.
This website will remain the go-to place for all news, activities, and events supporting entrepreneurship around the world.
As we look ahead to Global Entrepreneurship Week next week, we see a record-breaking 140 countries celebrating with roughly 10,000 partner organizations planning 20,000 events, activities and competitions. When all is said and done, 7.5 million people around the world will have participated and taken the next step--wherever they are in their entrepreneuriual journey.
Founded by the Kauffman Foundation and sponsored by Dell, GEW is supported by dozens of world leaders and is more than just an awareness campaign. It is a platform for connection and collaboration—engaging all players along the entrepreneurship spectrum in strengthening ecosystems around the world. We hope this inspires you to take part in a GEW event near you. So what are you waiting for? Get ready for #GEW next week!
