The Global Entrepreneurship Week will be held in the Republic of Belarus from November 17 to 23, 2014

The idea of holding Entrepreneurship Week was first implemented in 2006 in the United Kingdom. It was widely supported in subsequent years in various countries around the world, and this year it is already being held in 140 countries. In 2011, this already international project was supported by the Republic of Belarus.

From November 17 to 23, organizations of the Belarusian and international business community, with the support of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Belarus, are holding various events: an international entrepreneurship forum, conferences, panel discussions, training sessions, master classes, and startup competitions. All of them are aimed at forming an entrepreneurial culture, developing the entrepreneurial potential of youth, searching for new business ideas, establishing business contacts, developing public-private partnerships, and engaging in international projects. The program of the Global Entrepreneurship Week in Belarus can be found on the project's website http://gew.by.
