What is Global Entrepreneurship Week?
Global Entrepreneurship Week is a week long celebration of innovators who dream big and launch startups that bring ideas to life. Each November, GEW reaches millions of people of all ages and backgrounds through local, national and global events and activities. From large-scale startup competitions and workshops to small, community discussions, Global Entrepreneurship Week hosts thousands of events in 160 countries to inspire millions to engage in entrepreneurial activity.
“Entrepreneurship Week Palm Beach brings together thousands in our community to celebrate the next generation of small business & startup founders,” said Palm Beach Tech CEO Joe Russo. “The very existence of the many groups organizing this is proof that our entrepreneurial ecosystem is growing stronger than ever”
1909fest in West Palm Beach will be hosted by 1909, an organization dedicated to the holistic growth of Entrepreneurs in Palm Beach County.
This will be the 6th Annual Entrepreneurship Week for Palm Beach County, originally organized by Nicholas Mohnacky & Chris Callahan in West Palm Beach in 2013.
“GEW is an essential celebration of creativity in any city because it’s the only time of year that entrepreneurs can count on municipalities and business communities to come together and support economic development,” said bNotes Founder & CEO Nicholas Mohnacky
