7th Annual 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit

June 22-24, 2016

Silicon Valley, California

What: GES is an annual gathering that brings together investors and entrepreneurs at all stages of business development.

Who: Participation is open to persons selected through competitive application in three categories: 1) Entrepreneurs (550 slots); 2) a select group of Entrepreneurs chosen to participate in an additional Youth and Women event on June 22 (150 slots); and 3) Investors (300 slots).

Ideal entrepreneur candidates will have well-developed business plans and strategies, and will benefit from the professional mentoring available in Silicon Valley. We also seek broad participation from underrepresented minorities from respective participating countries.

Background: GES 2016 will showcase the U.S. Government's commitment to the promotion of entrepreneurship, shine a spotlight on entrepreneurs from around the globe, expand access to funders and mentors, facilitate private sector engagement with other regions of the world, and support economic growth and development. The agenda will include a diverse array of panels, plenaries, workshops, conversations, and myriad opportunities for mentoring and networking. The first day of the three-day summit will provide an opportunity for a select group of youth and women entrepreneurs to connect with investors and funders, while the remaining two days will widen the lens to focus on all facets of entrepreneurship. While investors, speakers, and sponsors will round out the attendance, we are exploring opportunities to engage other interested parties through digital platforms.

Funding: Organizers will cover the cost of four nights' lodging for all 700 entrepreneurs invited to participate in GES, and travel costs for the 150 entrepreneurs selected for the first day's Youth and Women program. Participants will be responsible for other expenses.

Selection Process: All interested candidates must apply via the online application, at www.GES2016.org. The application for entrepreneurs will go live on February 4, 2016 and will close on February 15. The online application form for Investor delegates will be available beginning February 16, 2016.

Entrepreneur applications will undergo a multi-step review process. Final selections will be made by the State Department after consultations with diplomatic posts and private sector partners. Selected participants will then receive a formal invitation and can begin to organize necessary visas and make travel arrangements.
