Local Event Fulfilling International Vision
The Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) oversees the international vision for Global Entrepreneurship Week that brings together 10 million people across 180 countries. For the past 13 years, GEW Penn State has deployed resources across the region to serve local entrepreneurs, change makers, and innovators.

Entrepreneurial Resources Available Year-Round
GEW Penn State’s substantial growth since its inception is due in no small part to the support of partners within the University and local communities across Pennsylvania. These campus and community organizations work year-round and offer a wide variety of resources to help turn innovative ideas into viable businesses.
GEW Penn State partner organizations provide unique opportunities including free professional resources, mentoring, and workspaces that foster networking within the entrepreneurial community 24/7/365.
