House of Innovation supports Global Entrepreneurship Week - 16 to 22 Nov 2020

Global Entrepreneurship Week is a collection of tens of thousands of events, activities and competitions each November that inspire millions to explore their potential entrepreneurs while fostering connections and increasing collaboration within ecosystems.

Powered by the Kauffman Foundation, Global Entrepreneurship Week has expanded to 170+ nations since its launch in 2008 with 20,000 partner organizations now serving as GEN’s community-building backbone. The House of Innovation is proud to promote its entrepreneurship activities in line with GEN's wider efforts.

The House of Innovation is an interdisciplinary research, education and outreach environment focused on innovation, digitalization and entrepreneurship. The researchers at the House produce scientifically-based knowledge relevant to academics, corporations, government agencies, civil society actors, and individuals. In doing so, they interact with an international network of scholars and academic institutions, as well as with corporate and institutional funders.

For Global Entrepreneurship Week, we are highlighting the people, research, and events at our House that focus on and promote entrepreneurship. Click the links below to learn more.
