Global entrepreneurship Congress in Istanbul
The Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) is a gathering of startup champions across the globe – entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, policymakers and other thought leaders unite to help bring ideas to life, contribute to economic growth and expand human wellness.
The GEC attracts thousands of delegates from 170 countries to discuss economic and policy challenges around the emerging entrepreneurial ecosystems. GEC is an opportunity that is very difficult to find in other practitioners to stay up-to-date and abreast with new ideas, knowledge and breakthroughs through live events through the most up-to-date and best-in-class programming and research. It is a yearly event, organized by another entrepreneurial city in the spring, so that the representatives of their delegates arrive home with new ideas, tools, and contacts to exploit in their quest to support entrepreneurship initiatives that are forward-moving.
GEC 10 will be hosted in Istanbul on April 16-19, 2018. Jurisdictions that have previously hosted the GEC city include: Kansas City (2009), Dubai (2010), Shanghai (2011), Liverpool (2012), Rio de Janeiro (2013), Moscow (2014), Milan (2015), Medellin (2016) and Johannesburg (2017).
