STOKE CELEBRATES GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK IN DENTON, TX
Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) is a campaign to celebrate and empower entrepreneurs in every country and community around the world – especially those individuals who face structural barriers or may have never considered the idea of launching their own startup.
Each November, millions of people take part in tens of thousands of activities, competitions and events that inspire them to act and provide them with the knowledge, experience and connections they need to succeed.
For the last seven years, Stoke has participated in GEW by hosting both in person and virtual events that celebrate and support entrepreneurship in our community and are in line with the goals and themes of the week.
