Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 at IBA Karachi

The Center for Entrepreneurial Development, Innovation and Research (CEDIR) at the Institute of Business Administration Karachi will celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 at the institute in November, under the theme Entrepreneurs Thrive Here. The week is set to bring together entrepreneurs, innovators and changemakers to inspire ideas, spark connections and celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit.

Global Entrepreneurship Week is the world's largest campaign for entrepreneurs, organised each November by the Global Entrepreneurship Network and its national hosts, including GEN Pakistan. The 2026 edition runs from 16 to 22 November, with more than 11,000 organisations in about 200 countries expected to hold events. Local hosts typically organise talks, workshops, competitions and networking events for their own communities, and earlier IBA editions have included keynote speeches, panel discussions, faculty workshops and a startup showcase for student ventures.

The centre says further programme announcements will follow; founders, students and organisations can follow CEDIR's official channels for the schedule and registration details.
