Previous Global Entrepreneurship Summits proved that it is one of a kind opprotunity for entrepreneurs to present their innovative solutions to global challenges.

• GES creates an environment that fosters innovation, empowers entrepreneurs, engages investors, and leads to concrete business deals.
• GES allows entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas, expand their networks, build partnerships, and secure funding. It is a space for investors to engage with other investors and discover emerging talent.
• GES serves as a platform for governments and private sector organizations to promote new policies and initiatives. An estimated 20,000 emerging leaders have participated in Global Entrepreneurship Summits since 2010. Relationships formed at these summits have transcended borders, industries, and sectors and have led to investment opportunities, partnerships, and successful enterprises.
• At previous GES summits, governments and the private sector have committed over $1 billion in new capital to entrepreneurs worldwide. For early stage entrepreneurs, these commitments have resulted in resources, trainings, and platforms to learn from and connect with others. More established entrepreneurs have benefitted from investor commitments to fund and scale their businesses globally.
