What is the World Entrepreneur Society?

The World Entrepreneur Society is a membership organisation that promotes the role that entrepreneurs play in stimulating sustainable economic development across the world. 

We provide entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes, from all countries around the world and from any walk of life with the knowledge and networks to realise their dreams. Whether it's money, a business ides, a network, information, research or training that you need, WES has the structure to provide a solution that is right for you. 

What WES does

• Annual Action oriented summit
• Workshops and seminars
• News and information service
• WES Fellowship and members' social network and Forum
• Academy

WES Themes

WES tries to be as inclusive as possible so no area of entrepreneurship is excluded from our remit.  However, to keep things under control a bit, we focus our Forum, events and news under a number of headings:

• Entrepreneurship across Borders: the global market place for ideas, innovation and technology giving entrepreneurs a shop window on the world
• Environmental Entrepreneurship: green and clean ideas, innovations, money and networks
• Youth Entrepreneurship: our future in their hands
• Social Entrepreneurship: more than just philanthropy
• Women's Entrepreneurship
• Creative Entrepreneurship and social media
• More than Economic Growth: Entrepreneurship and sustainable development from communities to corporate responsibility - how entrepreneurs can provide the sustainable answers to the challenge of economic development
