Tulsa Global Entrepreneurial Week Impact

Celebrating regional and global entrepreneurs, small businesses, and start-ups since 2006.

In 2006 the entrepreneur landscape of Tulsa looked very different, with many business people looking outside of Tulsa for places to start their start-ups. As a response the Tulsa Entrepreneurial Spirit Award was introduced with the intention of kick-starting a new entrepreneurial revolution in the Tulsa Community.

Today, Tulsa is a leader, nationally at growing regional entrepreneurs and as an active participant in the Kauffman Foundation entrepreneurial campaign – Global Entrepreneurship Week taking place, yearly, third week of November. The week is driven by the mission of advancing and growing entrepreneurship regionally, nationally, and globally.

As more and more cities, states and nations start waking up to the power of growing regional entrepreneurs, Tulsa will be challenged to keep our eye on constant improvement and collaboration. Tulsa Global Entrepreneurship Week is continuing to build on this positive momentum by encouraging a culture of start-ups.
