A major announcement was made at the GEF 2026 Closing Ceremony.
Speaking on behalf of the Board, the President of the Global Entrepreneurship Festival, Dr. Summy Smart Francis, announced the Board’s decision to transition GEF from an annual festival to a biennial event, held once every two years.
This is a strategic move towards building a bigger, more impactful and more globally connected entrepreneurship ecosystem.
The new structure will give us the time and opportunity to:
Host all pre-festival GEF Global Business Forums across different countries, taking the GEF experience and opportunities to more cities and nations around the world.
Build stronger international partnerships, deepen business relationships and create meaningful investment opportunities long before the main festival.
Give entrepreneurs, investors, governments and global institutions more time to prepare, connect and develop partnerships that translate into real business outcomes.
Build greater anticipation for each edition, making every gathering an even more significant global experience.
GEF is beyond a three-day festival. It is a global ecosystem of business, entrepreneurship, investment and collaboration that will connect the world throughout the year.
The festival will now take place once every two years with the next edition in 2028. The momentum continues across borders, countries and continents.
The next chapter begins now…
SEE YOU IN GEF2028
