The 7th annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) will be held in Silicon Valley – San Francisco Bay Area, California from June 22-24, 2016.
This strategic location highlights the important role that entrepreneurship plays in the U.S. economy, and also provides a unique platform to connect global entrepreneurs with prominent investors and mentors.
GES 2016 will showcase the United States commitment to the promotion of entrepreneurship, shine a spotlight on entrepreneurs from around the globe, expand access to funders and mentors, facilitate private sector engagement with other regions of the world, and support economic growth and development.
The agenda includes a diverse array of panels, plenaries, workshops, conversations, and opportunities for mentoring and networking.
“Everywhere I go across America and around the world, I hear from people – especially young people – who are ready to start something of their own, to lift up people’s lives and shape their own destinies,” President Barack Obama said.
“That’s entrepreneurship – that spark of prosperity that creates new jobs and new businesses, new ways to deliver basic services, and new ways of seeing the world.”
All entrepreneur delegates, including the Youth and Women event, will be selected from the same applicant pool. The online application form for Investor delegates will be available via the website – www.GES2016.org
This will be the 7th installment in the series, which in addition to the U.S. has been hosted by Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Morocco, and Kenya.
