During one week each November, nearly 10 million people in 170 countries celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week through thousands of events, activities and competitions – unleashing their ideas and making it possible for anyone, anywhere to start and scale a business.

This year Cleveland is joining the global celebration to strengthen our start-up community. Event sponsors and partners include StartinCle, JumpStart, FlashStart, CWRU NEOlaunchNET, GENglobal, and more.

Cleveland’s celebratory event is focused on discovering what “Cleveland Can Do For Blockchain.” This year our celebration is at think[box] on the campus of the world-renowned Case Western Reserve University. Our panelists Adam Gall, a champion of Cleveland’s blockchain ecosystem, and Charlie Lougheed, a leader in healthcare and technological innovation in the region, will be speaking about Cleveland’s Blockchain Ecosystem and what our region can do to apply blockchain across the healthcare, tech, manufacturing, finance, government and supply chain industries.

Time will be allocated during the event for networking and presentations from those working in blockchain throughout Northeast Ohio.

We are calling for submissions from regional entrepreneurs to pitch 5-minute Blockchain business applications and ideas. Send us your name, job title and a pitch presentation.
