The Power of Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business; it’s a catalyst for economic growth, job creation, and social development. However, many aspiring entrepreneurs face systemic barriers that hinder their ability to take the first step on their entrepreneurial journey. This is where Global Entrepreneurship Week comes in. It provides a platform for inspiration, education, and networking, enabling individuals from all backgrounds to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.
FOUR PILLARS, ONE DREAM
Global Entrepreneur Week Calabar 2023 will focus on four distinct theme areas, which are the key pillars of the GEW movement:
1. Innovation and Technology: This theme highlights the critical role of innovation and technology in driving entrepreneurship. It showcases groundbreaking startups, emerging technologies, and the importance of digital transformation in today’s business landscape.
