GEC 2025 Indianapolis | Ohio Delegation 🇵🇷
​Represent Ohio's startup ecosystem at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Indiana in 2025
​Ohio is sending its leaders to Indianapolis, Indiana for GEN Global's 16th annual Global Entrepreneurship Congress
​Each year, GEC is hosted in a new city in a new country where thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem builders fly out to represent their ecosystems and build cross-border connections.
​...This will be the first Global Entrepreneurship Congress held in the USA since 2009!
​This is an unique opportunity for us to break bread with our Midwest neighbors and showcase the best of Ohio.
