World Entrepreneurship Day (WED) is the first internationally-recognized day for the celebration, education, and inspiration of entrepreneurs and innovators. Individuals, high schools, universities, corporations and NGO’s around the world partake in the WED celebration by hosting activities or events to demonstrate their entrepreneurial spirit and to spark innovation in their communities. And to celebrate the first time WED comes to Singapore, WED has teamed up with ASEANpreneurs to bring you an afternoon of sharing under the theme “The entrepreneurs: Before they get there”.
