About us
"The Entrepreneurship Network was established for those who dream big but may not know how to overcome the barriers to realizing their ideas. It also extends an invitation to those who may not have considered the possibility that they can participate in the world of entrepreneurship.
The reality in 2024 presents us with immense challenges: the climate crisis, which has shifted from a vague concern to an alarming reality causing human casualties; the ongoing economic crisis we find ourselves in; the energy crisis that affects us; and the breakdown in public trust in democratic institutions witnessed in many countries. These challenges require us to act, to protect our world, our present, and our future. Each of us holds the core, the ability to make a change: to act, to recruit others, to innovate, to lead, and to create a solution.
Entrepreneurship is a force for good. It is the power to act. It transcends borders and cultures, promoting and building. We believe in the future generation of entrepreneurs who will make the world a better place to live. They are the leaders of tomorrow, shaping the world for the better." - Ayla Matalon, Chairperson of Global Entrepreneurship Network Israel.
Who are we? The Global Entrepreneurship Network is an annual platform for plans and initiatives created by entrepreneur communities, professionals, and investors from around the world. The organization's goal is to establish a global entrepreneurship network that assists people interested in entrepreneurship in advancing their ideas, turning them into new and quality initiatives, creating new workspaces, promoting innovation awareness in society, and strengthening economic stability worldwide.
Entrepreneurs, who are the pioneers in the world of entrepreneurship, are invited to the dedicated Entrepreneurship Week. During this week, they are exposed to entrepreneurial content, innovation, and creativity. It is a week that encourages them to think big, turn an idea into reality, refine it, and acquire tools to advance their initiatives.
Entrepreneurship Week was born in 2008, parallel to the global credit crisis, which raised awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship in economic expansion and job creation.
Our project transcends sectors, religions, and cultures, including meetings in social peripheries, particularly in the ultra-Orthodox and Arab sectors.
The opening shot for Entrepreneurship Week is the ringing bell on the Tel Aviv stock exchange, an exciting event attended by all participants. You can find various additional projects with us, such as entrepreneurs and investors lecturing over a beer in the "Entrepreneurship on Tap" events, the "Roots" project where entrepreneurs visit schools to inspire the younger generation, Entrepreneurship Mixer, Acceleration Program, and many more projects that you can explore on our website and social networks.
