Every year in November, Global Entrepreneurship Week – GEW (external link) aims to promote originality, creativity and ingenuity through local and global business support networks and activities and involves 10 million people, 35,000 events in over 100+ countries.

GEW 2021 serves as an opportunity to collaborate and engage with organisations and individuals to celebrate and spotlight entrepreneurs, expose people to the path of entrepreneurship, help them get started and facilitate access to the resources they need to succeed.

This year GEW will take place from Monday 8 November until Sunday 14 November.

To mark its return, we will be delivering an engaging week-long programme of events as part of Haringey Global Entrepreneurship Week 2021.

The Haringey Economic Development team and Start-ups in London Libraries (SiLL) in partnership with local, regional and national support agencies and institutions, have organised a range of practical support online and in-person advice sessions.

Local business support events, workshops and 1:1 advice clinics will be taking place both online and in person.
