From November 8-14, 2021, the U.S. Embassy in Athens will commemorate Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) by showcasing activities in support of entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth throughout Greece. Supporting Greece’s long-term economic stability is a key objective of the U.S. Mission to Greece, and we are proud to promote Greece’s entrepreneurial growth through partnerships and investments across many sectors of the economy, protothema.gr reports.
This year’s GEW is an opportunity to show how entrepreneurship can accelerate an inclusive post-pandemic economic recovery. For example, on November 9, Embassy Athens’ Public Diplomacy Section will connect U.S. speaker Aisha Bowe with Greek audiences for a discussion of STEM education and entrepreneurship for women and girls. On November 11, we will host a masterclass on women’s leadership in business with IBM Design Director Rania Svoronou as part of the FEMpowerment Initiative co-organized by ReGeneration. Throughout GEW we will also highlight our Embassy’s ongoing activities, including virtual leadership programs and mentoring sessions for young entrepreneurs; an educational program with Mindspace University that trains youth across the Balkans on how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset; and programs at our American Spaces in Greece, including a series of online entrepreneurship seminars at the Xanthi TechLab.
