During one week each November (November 14-20, 2016), 162 countries and 10 million+ people inspire millions to engage in entrepreneurial activity while connecting them to potential collaborators, mentors and even investors. It's called Global Entrepreneurship Week. Powered by the Kauffman Foundation, the initiative is supported by dozens of world leaders and a network of more than 15,000 partner organizations. Converge is just one part of a large enterprise jigsaw!
Converge Challenge believes this is the perfect time to celebrate entrepreneurialism, and engage with the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in Scotland. So to mark #GEW16 Converge Challenge is taking part in a number of initiatives including:
Monday 14th November - We Are The Future Start Up Summit, Edinburgh #SUS16 and CENSIS Engagement Survey, Glasgow
Tuesday 15th November - University of Stirling Enterprise Day; Scaling Up in Scotland, Informatics, Edinburgh; Young Enterprise Scotland Barefoot in Business; and Elevator 'Make It Happen' Conference, Aberdeen
Wednesday 16th November - Strathclyde Enterprise Pathway (SEN), Glasgow
Thursday 17th November - Scottish Business Awards #SBA16 and Heriot-Watt Ventures Programme
...and more!
To add to this we have lots of inspiration to share this week from entrepreneurial blogs, videos featuring entrepreneurs who are 'walking the walk' and a range of helpful hints and tips from those in the ecosystem who can support you in your start up journey.
We also have some news ourselves from Converge Towers to share with you this week - watch this space as they say!!
So what are you waiting for! Get involved and join the conversation @ConvergeC using #GEW16
