Global Entrepreneurship Week

(92 Speakers — Global Entrepreneurship Week | November 2026)

Where Growth Thinking Gets Reset

Global Entrepreneurship Week tends to get framed around startups. In reality, it’s become something else. It’s one of the few moments in the year where organisations step back and look properly at how growth is actually happening now. Not in theory. In practice. What’s working. What isn’t. What’s already out of date. Because the pressure isn’t just to grow. It’s to keep up with how quickly the rules are shifting around you.

Entrepreneur Speakers for Global Entrepreneurship Week

Shaolan Hsueh has a way of cutting through complexity. She makes things land quickly, which is rarer than it sounds.

Fraser Doherty built a global brand from something simple. His perspective tends to go back to first decisions and why they matter more than people think.

Steven Bartlett understands attention better than most. Not just how to get it, but what to do with it once you have it.

Sahar Hashemi is particularly relevant for larger organisations trying to think more like founders without losing structure.

Eleanor Mills looks at reinvention from a human angle, which is where most change either works or fails.

Jonny Combe focuses on decision-making when things are uncertain, which is where most organisations now operate.

Leah Busque built something globally scalable from a very practical idea. Her lens is operational, not theoretical.

Natalie Campbell connects growth with impact in a way that feels commercially grounded rather than idealistic.

They’ve taken different routes. Built different things. But they all point back to the same question: Where is growth actually coming from now?

What This Moment Really Brings Into Focus

Entrepreneurship isn’t a separate category anymore. It’s expected inside established businesses. Across leadership teams. In decisions that used to be made very differently.

You can see the shift quite clearly:

  • ideas are tested earlier, often before they feel ready

  • decisions sit closer to the edge of the business

  • growth comes from changing the model, not just scaling it

  • advantage comes from recognising change sooner than others

That’s what sits underneath this week. Not hype. Just reality.

Why These Voices Matter

Entrepreneur speakers don’t come at this from the outside. They’ve built things. Got things wrong. Had to adjust quickly. That tends to change the conversation. Less theory. More judgement. Less “this is what’s happening”. More “this is what actually works”. That’s usually what organisations are trying to get to.

Finding the Right Fit

Not all speakers are shown on the pages of our website, what matters to us is understanding what you’re trying to achieve. Then finding someone who can move that thinking forward in a way that lands. That part still comes down to judgement.

Find the Right Entrepreneur Speaker

Global Entrepreneurship Week is a useful moment to bring a different perspective into the room. Handled well, it doesn’t just follow a theme. It changes how people think about what comes next.
