Global Entrepreneurship Week is a global campaign dedicated to empowering and celebrating entrepreneurs from all walks of life. With over 10 million participants taking part in a wide array of activities, competitions, and events, this week serves as a powerful platform to inspire individuals to take action while providing them with the knowledge, experience, and connections necessary for success—particularly for those facing structural barriers or those who may not have previously considered launching their own ventures.
GEW is an international movement, organized by the Global Entrepreneurship Network and powered by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation with support from strategic partners. This year, Startup Junkie is excited to host five dynamic events as part of the GEW celebration.
We’ll be featuring:

Running parallel to GEW is the HER Entrepreneur Journey, an initiative created in 2019 by Startup Junkie to support women in Arkansas in starting or growing small businesses. This mission complements GEW’s goals by providing targeted resources to female founders and fostering an inclusive entrepreneurial environment that encourages diverse perspectives and innovation.
Focusing on empowerment, Startup Junkie is dedicated to supporting innovators and entrepreneurs through collaborative efforts that illuminate the path to success. By participating in Global Entrepreneurship Week and the HER Entrepreneur Journey, we aim to provide essential resources, connections, and inspiration to help build a thriving community of small business owners and innovators.
