  13. GEN GLOBAL PROGRAMS • UNDERSTAND | RESEARCH & POLICY

  14. UNDERSTAND | MINISTERIALS GEN has partnered with the U.S. Government to host a startup policy Ministerial led by the White House. To date, ministers from around the world have participated two Ministerials in Milan and Medellin – three more are planned over the coming years. Strong demand exists for cabinet level peer networks around public sector engagement to help stand, start, and scale innovative new firms.

  15. UNDERSTAND | GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP INDEX The Global Entrepreneurship Index is an annual report that measures the health of entrepreneurship ecosystems in 137 countries. It collects data on the entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities and aspirations of the local population and then weights these against the prevailing social and economic infrastructure – this includes aspects such as broadband connectivity and transport links to external markets.

  16. GEN GLOBAL PROGRAMS • SUPPORT | PROGRAMS & RESOURCES

  17. SUPPORT | STARTUP HUDDLE Startup Huddle is a program designed to educate, engage, and connect entrepreneurs. Originally developed by the Kauffman Foundation, Startup Huddle is based on the notion that the best way for entrepreneurs to discover solutions to the challenges they face is through purposeful engagement with one another.

  18. SUPPORT | GLOBAL ENTERPRISE REGISTRATION Global Enterprise Registration is an index of web portals around the world allowing online business registration or describing the business registration process. It is intended to promote the use and improvement of business registration services worldwide, by allowing easy access to existing online systems and by facilitating the exchange of experiences and best practices among governments. Global Enterprise Registration is jointly produced by UNCTAD and GEN with support from the U.S. State Department.

  19. SUPPORT | GLOBAL ENTERPRISE REGISTRATION GER helps GEN country affiliates accelerate new firm formation in two ways. One is by walking a founder through the registration process. The other is by identifying bottlenecks within the bureaucracy, an invaluable tool for policy advocacy. For a GEN country directors, up-to-date and detailed information about the business registration process in their country can be a vital tool in a strategy to engage more of the informal economy in entrepreneurial economic activity.

  20. SUPPORT | STARTUP EXPERIENCE Startup Experience is one of several new GEN educational programs offering intensive transformational workshops designed to inspire the next generation of young entrepreneurs. It introduces students to the entrepreneurial mindset and provide hands-on training in high impact entrepreneurship. Students build creative capacity, entrepreneurial confidence, and learn effective tools to build new ventures.

  21. SUPPORT | STARTUP COMPETE For GEN country affiliates, the Startup Compete internet platform simplifies and streamlines the process for organizing and conducting business competitions. It allows a GEN affiliate to customize questions and rounds, invite and sort judges, and manage everything from one place.

  22. SUPPORT | STARTUP OPEN Startup Open is a global startup competition organized on GEN’s Startup Compete platform to identify, connect and recognize promising young startups around the world. The top virtual applicants from around the world join the global winners of GEN’s affiliated live competitions in being offered admission into GEN’s Starters Club. Following due diligence and interviews with a panel of investors, the top GEN Starters travel to the GEC to be recognized in front of the world – and to face off against 5 other finalists. Previous winners – which include startups from the UK, Israel, Croatia, Ghana and the United States – have been featured by CNBC, CNN, Fast Company and Forbes.

  23. SUPPORT | GEN STARTERS CLUB GEN Starters Club is a global community made up of talented founders whose promising startups have been battle-tested through one or more of GEN’s global startup competitions. Through the Club, GEN Starters have access to connections with potential collaborators, mentors, and investors within the Global Entrepreneurship Network – as well as year-round opportunities for additional support, visibility, and peer-to-peer learning experiences.

  24. COMPETITION | GET IN THE RING Get in the Ring attracts a wide-variety of aspiring entrepreneurs. Connecting them with a GEN country affiliate enhances their ability to succeed, and the GEN affiliate’s ability to learn about and develop programs that address their needs.

  25. COMPETITION | CHALLENGE CUP Startups advance through three rounds: Local, Regional and Global Finals. Each of the regional winners and a host of wild cards are invited to participate in the Challenge Cup Global Finals in June in Washington, D.C. There, they will compete for over U.S. $1 million in prizes, as well as spend time with investors, customers, media and other key connections who can help them succeed on a global scale.

  26. COMPETITION | FUTURE AGRO CHALLENGE Similar to the Creative Business Cup, the Future Agro Challenge provides GEN country affiliates with a competition for the agricultural sector – a vital and often overlooked market segment within the startup world – offering a means to reach this important sub-set of entrepreneurs. As the world adapts to changes in the environment, those who aspire to find practical solutions to such challenges as those mentioned above require a specialized community of supporters.

  27. GEN GLOBAL PROGRAMS • CONNECT | GLOBAL FORUMS & EVENTS

  28. CONNECT | GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONGRESS With live events featuring the latest, best-in-class programming and research, GEC is a unique opportunity for the leaders of GEN in each country to attend as a delegation to meet fellow practitioners and stay apprised of new ideas, insights and developments. The GEC, free for registered members of GEN, serves as GEN’s Annual Meeting, gathering all GEN country affiliates and GEN verticals, communities and programs for a week bigger than the sum of its parts.

  29. CONNECT | STARTUP NATIONS SUMMIT The Startup Nations Summit (SNS) gathers the members of Startup Nations and features some of the world’s startup savvy policy advisors and community leaders collaborating on smarter policies and government leadership to support new firm formation. The Startup Nations Summit has been held in Toronto, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Monterrey, Mexico, and Cork, Ireland. In November 2017, it will be held in Tallinn, Estonia and include a gathering of Ministers staff to prepare for the annual Ministerial at the GEC in March.

  30. CONNECT | STARTUP NATIONS SUMMIT For GEN country affiliates, the annual Summit is an opportunity to offer national policy advisors an international forum in which to listen to and learn from their peers from around the world who are grappling with similar domestic policy challenges in government. During the Summit, they are able to exchange information with policy leaders about cutting-edge government programs and regulatory practices aimed at increasing new firm formation and gain insight about the ways in which other national governments support entrepreneurs.

  31. CONNECT | GEC+ GEC+ is a deep-dive gathering of entrepreneurship experts that is focused on a particular area of startup ecosystems. Designed to enable a less hurried, deeper colloquy around well-defined yet unanswered questions arising from GEN’s annual Congress, GEC+ events look at regions or specific topics identified in conjunction with the nation that hosts them.
