A Few Days to Go: Together We Build for Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025

From November 17 to 23, 2025, Youth Business Trinidad and Tobago (YBTT) rings in the 16th year as the Local Campaign Host of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) in T&T. This year’s global theme, “Together We Build,” is more than a slogan, it is a movement grounded in collaboration, empowerment and ecosystem-building. According to Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN), the theme calls on entrepreneurs, mentors, investors and institutions to act as one, because only when we build together can we create resilient, inclusive growth.

Message from the CEO

“We are deeply grateful to everyone stepping up for GEW 2025, entrepreneurs, mentors, and community partners. Each participating organization and entrepreneur represents the collective heartbeat of GEW, a reminder that building an entrepreneurial nation is not about the size of the crowd, but the strength of our commitment to progress. For those who are still confirming events, this is your invitation to join the ecosystem, host an event, make a connection, and help build this future together. There is still time to participate, still space to contribute, and still an opportunity to make a difference.” ~ Shedron Collins, CEO

2025 Highlighted Events at a Glance

Throughout the week, we’ll bring together workshops, discussions and adventures to reflect the breadth of entrepreneurship today. You’ll find social-innovation-driven sessions like our “Where Social Innovation Meets Impact”. There are strategy-focused talks such as the virtual “From Seed to Scale” discussion and a burnout awareness workshop. There are also tools-driven workshops, for example the export-AI session, and a one-hour interactive online class on how AI can boost productivity and income opportunities. On the ground there are networking in-person events, an adventure hike to Rio Seco Waterfall, and a festive MSME Christmas-market showcase. Every event offers a different way to connect, learn, and contribute.

Together We Build

In Trinidad and Tobago, our entrepreneurial strength lies not just in individual ideas, but in networks, community, and partnerships. When a solo founder meets a mentor, when a local entrepreneur links with a global export platform, when a university and a business accelerator co-design a workshop… that’s where real building happens.
 
GEW 2025 is our moment to show how synergy creates scale. Whether you’re starting something new, growing an existing venture, mentoring someone, or simply curious about entrepreneurship, this week welcomes you.
