Entrepreneurs stimulate economic growth and foster innovation, benefiting local economies and shaping future business leaders. North Texas ranks as one of the largest economies in the United States, and entrepreneurs add vibrance and diversity to our every-growing portfolio of business industries.
November 13-17, we invite you to participate in Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), an annual series of events featuring speakers, panels, showcases and valuable networking opportunities. GEW provides resources and connects entrepreneurs with potential collaborators, mentors, and investors.
Whether you’re an aspiring business owner or a community member looking to support local startups, GEW is a fantastic opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit that drives this community forward.

Entrepreneurship is not just a buzzword in Arlington; it’s a vital component of the local economy. We believe in nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. In partnership with the Arlington ISD, the Greater Arlington Chamber is actively fostering this spirit in students from 3rd – 12th grade through the “What’s Your Big Idea?” Entrepreneurship Contest.
This contest empowers young minds to unleash their creativity and innovation. It challenges students to develop and pitch their ideas, providing them with a taste of what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. By encouraging students to think critically, solve problems, and create businesses from the ground up, we are laying the foundation for the next generation of community business leaders.

Mark your calendars November 13-17, get inspired, and join the celebration of entrepreneurship in Arlington during Global Entrepreneurship Week North Texas.
