The GEW is a movement that connects, inspires, and empowers entrepreneurs in every corner of the world.

The Global Entrepreneurship Network – Ghana (GEN-Ghana), coordinators of the celebration in the country in a statement signed by Mr Stephen Gyasi-Kwaw, the Managing Director of GEN-Ghana, said this year’s theme, reflected a fundamental truth that sustainable entrepreneurship ecosystems were not “built in isolation.”

“They require collaboration between policymakers who create enabling environments, investors who provide capital, educators who nurture talent, media who tell our stories, and entrepreneurs who dare to innovate,” the statement added.

It said among the GEW 2025 activities in Ghana would be innovation expos, startup pitch competitions, policy roundtables, and mentorship sessions, all geared toward equipping entrepreneurs with practical knowledge, investment opportunities, and partnerships to scale their businesses.

It therefore, called on government agencies, private sector leaders, universities and schools, media organisations, social media influencers, entrepreneurs, among others, to participate in the week-long activities to strengthen Ghana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and drive sustainable economic growth.

It said individuals and organisations could also participate by registering their entrepreneurship related activities – whether at large conferences, small workshops, or online discussions on the official website, www.gew.co by selecting Ghana as their country.

“Once registered, events become part of a global celebration, gaining visibility and contributing to Ghana’s national entrepreneurship story.”

Government agencies were also encouraged to host policy dialogues and showcase support programmes; while private sector leaders were urged to offer mentorship and sponsor innovation-focused events; and educational institutions asked to organise startup competitions, hackathons, and entrepreneurship workshops to nurture young innovators.

Media organisations and social media influencers on the other hand, were expected to play a central role by highlighting success stories, engaging audiences in conversations about entrepreneurship, and promoting Ghana’s growing innovation ecosystem.

Founded in 2008 by the Kauffman Foundation and powered by the Global Entrepreneurship Network, the GEW has grown into the world’s largest entrepreneurship celebration.

The annual movement engages millions of participants across over 200 countries through thousands of activities designed to inspire people to explore their entrepreneurial potential and drive positive change through innovation.
