Ethiopia is joining more than 170 countries this year to celebrate the 2018 Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW).

This is the eighth consecutive time that Ethiopia has joined this global event to celebrate entrepreneurship through activities taking place throughout the country during the week hosted by various organizations. This year’s GEW will take place from November 12-18, 2018.



This year’s GEW celebration will fall under four themes:

As the host organization for GEW, the Entrepreneurship Development Centre (EDC) has planned over for 30 events under the four themes mentioned above in all regions of the country targeting various audiences, including over 2,000 micro, small and medium enterprises. The events are expected to raise awareness about entrepreneurship and celebrate the country’s achievements in the sector.

The week-long celebration will also include an event to recognize Ethiopian entrepreneurs in the category of Young Female, Young Male, as well as Seasoned Entrepreneur of the Year. The winners have been selected by the GEW committee following a public call for nominations in those three categories.

The GEW committee comprises the EDC and various public and private stakeholders participating in entrepreneurship development in Ethiopia.
