Global Entrepreneurship Month

Every November, Washington celebrates entrepreneurship statewide. We honor the work of people in towns, cities, and counties to help residents nurture and grow a successful business. It is inspired by and builds upon Global Entrepreneurship Week, an international event that hosts entrepreneur activities around the world.

Entrepreneurship isn’t something you’re born with. You learn it from others. Through the Office of Economic Development and StartUp Washington, along with our partners across the state, we will share with you the secrets to starting and operating a successful business, whether it’s a new cafe on main street or the next e-commerce juggernaut. When paired with our education opportunities, including the Entrepreneur Academy, ScaleUp or Thrive! and more, you’ll learn a wide range of skills, from mastering the mysteries of supply chain to sourcing capital.

Entrepreneuship events

During Global Entrepreneurship Month, events and education are offered around our state. If you would like to participate in Global Entrepreneurship Month planning and events, please contact Linda Alongi.
