Dear IEEE Region 8 Members and Volunteers, 

The IEEE Region 8 Entrepreneurship Week is back this year for its sixth edition!

We started the “Entrepreneurship Initiative” in 2018 and have seen huge engagement and momentum. Today, region 8 has an official “Entrepreneurship Committee”, after five editions of the Entrepreneurship Week, more than 100+ events organized, and 180+ ambassadors, we are so happy to launch the sixth Entrepreneurship Week 2024/25. 

The IEEE Entrepreneurship Week is a series of tech-entrepreneurship events coordinated by local ambassadors (e.g., YP members, Student Branch members) and taking place between 1st of September 2024 and 31st January 2025. 

Events can be anything from panel discussion to a 3 day bootcamp. Every event includes a pitching competition with local start-ups.

If you are a go-getter who wants to make a difference and have a burning desire to inspire others and shape the future of entrepreneurship, then this is for you! 

We have officially opened the call for ambassadors - you can sign up to be an ambassador by filling this form: https://forms.gle/HWY4SwER4AjkeLnSA 

Attached you can find an introduction document explaining the Entrepreneurship Week, Ambassador responsibilities and benefits, the sign-up process and examples of previous events. 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us on entrepreneurship@ieeer8.org.  

Looking forward to your ambassador applications!

Best regards,

IEEE Region 8 Entrepreneurship Committee
