Information Night, Steering Committee Nominations GEW 2018 - Western Australia

GEN Australia is a national movement that seeks to inspire more Australians from all walks of life to explore their potential to start and grow new businesses – providing new entrants to our global emerging start-up ecosystems.

Through a collection of programs and research work, Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) works throughout the year to support entrepreneurs and create environments that enable them to thrive.

Its largest and most visible program is Global Entrepreneurship Week, when over 10 million people in 170+ countries participate in nearly 35,000 events, activities and competitions.

GEN is looking to strengthen the Global Entrepreneurship Week community within Australia.
