[Brussels, 17 November 2014] The European Women’s Lobby is excited to be a part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, the world’s largest celebration of the innovators and job creators who launch startups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare. For one week in November, GEW inspires people everywhere through local, national and global activities designed to help them explore their potential as self-starters and innovators.

On the first day of Global Entrepreneurship Week, the EWL is excited to officially launch our newest project #WEstart: Mapping Women’s Social Entrepreneurship in Europe. We will celebrate the launch of our project and Entrepreneurship Week through a week-long interactive social media campaign that introduces social entrepreneurship, the WEstart project, facts and figures about women’s social entrepreneurship in Europe, and examples of social enterprises that are empowering women throughout the EU.

During the course of the week follow along with hashtags #WEstart and #GEW2014!
