🔥 Next week is going to be full with startup events!

Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) is a massive campaign to celebrate and empower entrepreneurs in every country and community around the world.

EPIC, as the official affiliate of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN), the global host of this week, has initiated an ecosystem-wide mobilization to celebrate GEW in Armenia this year.

As a result, about 20 organizations from the Armenian ecosystem have joined EPIC’s call to celebrate this global week in Armenia.

GEW Armenia 2023, from November 13 to 19, will be a week full of different activities – conferences, talks, panel discussions, competitions, showcases, and workshops – with the core goal of celebrating and empowering entrepreneurship across Armenia.

This is the week-long agenda of all the events planned for the next week.

Hope to see you there!
