Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026: Monday, Nov. 16 to Sunday, Nov. 22

Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 runs Monday, Nov. 16 to Sunday, Nov. 22, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Network, the organizer, whose page reads “Save the Date: Nov. 16-22, 2026.” The week is seven days long, counting both ends. Below are each day with a live count from today, the figures the organizer has and has not published, and a free planner PDF.

Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 days and countdown

Nov. 16 is a Monday and Nov. 22 is a Sunday, so the week runs Monday through Sunday. The last column fills in with the days left from today.

Date	Day	What happens	Days from today
Nov. 16	Monday	Week opens; youth intellectual property competition begins
Nov. 17	Tuesday	Week continues
Nov. 18	Wednesday	Week continues
Nov. 19	Thursday	Week continues
Nov. 20	Friday	Week continues
Nov. 21	Saturday	Week continues
Nov. 22	Sunday	Final day of the week and of the youth competition

The organizer’s Global Entrepreneurship Week page lists a youth intellectual property competition “from 16–22 November 2026”, the same window as the week. It names no other dated 2026 event.

What does the organizer say about the 2026 edition?

The Global Entrepreneurship Network announced the 2026 dates on Jan. 22, 2026, in an article headed “After Its Largest Year Ever, Global Entrepreneurship Week Set to Return in November 2026.”

Item	2026	Last year (2025)
Countries and territories taking part	Not yet announced	200
People taking part each November	Not yet announced	10 million
Events	Not yet published	55,000+ in the article body, 50,000 in its Quick Facts

The 2025 event count is contradictory on the organizer’s own pages, and its site navigation gives yet another figure, so this story quotes none of them as a total. The 200 countries and territories and the 10 million people are the organizer’s 2025 figures, and the 10 million is described as a yearly total each November.

How do you find local events?

Local event dates are not verified here. The organizer’s Global Entrepreneurship Week site is the place to look, and each event has its own organizer, schedule and registration rules. The organizer shows no registration deadline for the week itself.

The planner PDF has a seven-day grid and a short checklist: find an event, save its registration link, block the time, then write down one action for the month after. It carries no event listings, only the dates the organizer confirms.

How does it differ from Small Business Saturday?

Global Entrepreneurship Week is an organizer’s campaign for founders and students, not a shopping event. Readers looking for the retail side of small business can read the story on Small Business Saturday 2026, which covers participating stores and events.

For your own planning, the November 2026 printable calendar and the printable weekly calendar give room to mark the seven days.
