Advancing Dialogue, Practice, and Policy in Entrepreneurship Education
The Global Entrepreneurship Education Meeting (GEEM) is a flagship knowledge and convening platform initiated by SociopreneurID to strengthen dialogue and collaboration in entrepreneurship education at national, regional, and global levels. GEEM brings together educators, practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and ecosystem actors to address systemic challenges in education and innovation.
Rather than functioning as a one-off conference, GEEM is designed as a continuous platform for learning, reflection, and collective action.
Program Rationale
Across countries and education systems, entrepreneurship education is increasingly recognized as essential. However, its implementation often remains fragmented, uneven in quality, and disconnected from policy, practice, and real-world contexts.
GEEM was established to address this gap by creating a structured space where knowledge, experience, and evidence can be exchanged across sectors and regions. The platform supports alignment between educational practice, institutional capacity, and policy priorities, contributing to more coherent and impactful entrepreneurship education ecosystems.
