Hosted in a different rising entrepreneurial city each year, the Global Entrepreneurship Congress is four days of actionable intelligence, collaboration and collective action. It brings together thousands of voices, from more than 200+ countries to participate in creating one inclusive global ecosystem by networking, learning, and sharing. Since its inception in 2009, the GEC has created opportunities for founders to share new business models and connect with experienced mentors and investors who help them scale. It has hosted thought leaders challenging the status quo; policymakers intent on incentivising entrepreneurs and removing barriers, and academics exploring new ways of working and new sources of data.
