About Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW)
The 2026 theme is “Entrepreneurs Thrive Here.” The Global Entrepreneurship Network announced that 11,000 partner organizations across 200 countries will declare this message in November. The campaign aims to show people that entrepreneurship is a path open to them in their own communities. It is aimed especially at people who face structural barriers or may never have considered launching a startup. It connects them to the networks, tools, and support to take a first step.
