On November 12-18, CLDP, in collaboration with the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem, supported the 6th Annual Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), in the West Bank. The GEW is the world’s largest celebration of the innovators and job creators who launch startups that bring ideas to life, driving economic growth and expanding human welfare. GEW is hosted with over 20,000 global partners, across 170 countries, reaching over 10 million people worldwide. In the West Bank, the GEW was hosted by GROWTH Training and Development, a GEW partner, and a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local economic development through entrepreneurship and innovation. GROWTH, in coordination with the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem and CLDP, worked with over 70 local partners to host a series of workshops, forums, and conferences throughout the West Bank. CLDP sponsored the travel of renowned world entrepreneurship experts, Ms. Erin Keeley of Hitachi GST and Mr. Ewan Gaffney of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN UK), to provide keynote remarks and presentations throughout the week. GEW West Bank activities attracted over 70,000 innovators and entrepreneurs, and key stakeholders committed to fostering a prosperous innovation ecosystem.
