After close consultation with our partners in industry, academia and our community around the world, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the 7th Global Entrepreneurship & Innovation Conference 2022.
Having spent the past year preparing the conference with our advisory board, speakers, exhibitors, and event partners, we’re genuinely disappointed not to be able to host the conference this year.
We want to thank all our community and partners for their support, open discussions and encouragement. We fully intend to host a GEIC event later in 2023. We will be working to finalize the details and will share more information about our plans soon.

The purpose of the 7th Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation Conference (GEIC) is to bring entrepreneurs, practitioners, academics, researchers and policymakers together to actively shape an inclusive and sustainable future. As entering into the new decade, GEIC 2023 aims to empower participants to engage in strategic dialogues and debates around best entrepreneurship & innovation practice in relation to emerging technologies across organisations, institutions, countries and global markets.
The Central Theme
We live in a world that is experiencing unprecedented change and a seismic shift in the technological development process. To understand these changes and better envisage the future this conference addresses the questions:
- How do entrepreneurs drive changes in the global marketplace?
- What are the emerging and revolutionary technologies that are influencing the marketplace?
- What is the role of non-technological innovation, such as new business models and marketing innovations in a firm’s business development and success?
