WOMEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK 2021 Since its inception on the campus of Montclair State University in 2014, Women Entrepreneurship Week (WEW) has grown into a global movement with the goals of celebrating female founders and inspiring young women. When we were last able to gather in person in 2019, WEW events were organized at more than 240 colleges and universities across 32 countries and 49 states. Last year when we pivoted due to COVID, we still gathered virtually, conducting over 20 full-length interviews with amazing female founders. Our virtual series garnered almost 500 registrants, over 2k views and 75 hours of viewership. The 8th annual Women Entrepreneurship Week at Montclair State University gives our partners and participants the opportunity to engage with fellow female founders, small-business owners and community leaders as they look for advice and inspiration to help guide their entrepreneurial journey.
