CHANDLER, Ariz, May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
Entrepreneurship Network announced a collection of individuals to
serve as the lead coordinators in 21 states to drive engagement in
thousands of activities this November to help start and grow
startups worldwide. Known as Global Entrepreneurship Week, the
large-scale campaign is active in 170 countries with roughly 9
million participants in 35,000 activities – ranging from small,
casual meetups to massive events and competitions. Global
Entrepreneurship Week 2021 will be held November 8th – 14th.
Diana White, CEO at Chandler
Innovations Incubator, will serve as the GEW State
Coordinator for Arizona.
"I am so honored and excited to work with all of our state
stakeholders to showcase the amazing resources we have for
entrepreneurs," said White.
White and the Chandler Innovations Incubator
team have already begun recruiting statewide Community
Organizers to host events during Global Entrepreneurship Week.
The state coordinators tapped by GEN will encourage hundreds of
organizations throughout their state to plan and conduct activities
during GEW USA. They will also
play a role in connecting those organizations and other key
stakeholders to expand awareness and enable the participation of
communities not traditionally engaged in entrepreneurial
activity.
"Each year, Global Entrepreneurship Week amplifies the great
work being done to support entrepreneurs across the country while
connecting them to more opportunities to start and scale in their
own communities," said Ellen
Bateman, director for U.S. ecosystems at the Global
Entrepreneurship Network.
The four global themes of GEW 2021 will focus on Ecosystems,
Education, Inclusion, and Policy. Event organizers are encouraged
to consider these themes but can plan their activity as best they
see fit to suit their individual community's needs and
interests.
Organizations in Arizona and
anywhere in the United States
interested in planning and conducting an activity, event, or
competition during Global Entrepreneurship Week should create a
profile and add their event to the official list at gewusa.co.
Any individuals or organizations interested in getting involved
in any capacity can connect with Diana
White at adminci@nacet.com.
