This week, thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and supporters from all over the world will gather in Istanbul for the Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC), put on by the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) and local partners. What began in Kansas City in 2009 with support from the Kauffman Foundation has, over 10 years, turned into the leading global event on entrepreneurship. Over the next few days, innumerable connections will be established between far-flung parts of the world, ideas will be exchanged, and, for at least a brief moment, the world will be united in support of entrepreneurship.
