GEW mobilises SL innovators under the banner ‘Together We Build’
View(s):Sri Lanka is marking Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) 2025 on November 17–23, continuing to lead the region in entrepreneurial ecosystem development. Building on three consecutive years of impactful programming and the strong foundation laid during GEW 2024, the Information Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) has once again been honoured by the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) with the opportunity to serve as the national host, ICTA said in a media release.
ICTA, operating under the Ministry of Digital Economy, will lead this year’s initiative with a renewed commitment to empower the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. This year’s celebration promises to be even more inclusive, impactful, and far-reaching.
Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) is the world’s largest celebration of innovators and entrepreneurs who drive economic growth and social progress. This year’s theme, ‘Together We Build,’ echoes the collective power of collaboration, of the government, industry, academia, and civil society, rising together to shape a resilient and inclusive entrepreneurial future. It highlights the importance of shared responsibility in nurturing innovation, expanding opportunity, and driving sustainable growth.
GEW 2025 will feature a dynamic programme of workshops, bootcamps, mentoring sessions, forums, and networking events in all nine provinces. Each district will be supported by a dedicated five-member coordination panel to ensure inclusive participation and grassroots engagement. The initiative will focus on empowering youth, women, and underserved communities, promoting sustainable technology adoption, digital literacy, and regional innovation.
This year’s celebration aims to deepen outreach and expand impact. Whereas last year’s theme, ‘Entrepreneurship is for Everyone’, laid the groundwork for inclusive engagement, GEW 2025 moves further by fostering collaboration and co-creation. The focus extends past individual entrepreneurial journeys, to cover shared infrastructure, networks, and partnerships to enable long-term success.
ICTA together with partners will work closely with universities, corporates, ecosystem organisations, and district secretariats to deliver programming tailored to local needs. From emerging technologies and start-up scaling to rural enterprise support and community-led innovation, GEW 2025 will showcase the diversity and potential of Sri Lanka’s entrepreneurial landscape.
