Hosted by the governments of the Netherlands and the United States, GES 2019 will explore the right conditions for entrepreneurs to succeed and drive economic growth around the world.  During the two-day program, established entrepreneurs can seek funding from investors and scale their business globally.

Space is limited so interested entrepreneurs are highly encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

GES 2019 will be packed with promising ventures and accomplished individuals while buzzing with entrepreneurial potential. It is open to entrepreneurs with scalable, investment ready companies in the five focus sectors (agriculture, connectivity, energy, health, and water).

Please note, for each scale up, one representative can apply. Special consideration will be given to science based scale ups or those in collaboration with a university or research institute.
