Entrepreneurship World Cup | Open to All Entrepreneurs in Lebanon

EWC is more than just a global pitch competition with a shot at life-changing prizes.

Entrepreneurship World Cup Lebanon is back with another unique opportunity.

Do not miss the Entrepreneurship World Cup 2022, a program that offers a chance to pitch on a global stage for a share of US$1 million in cash prizes, in addition to in-kind support and investment opportunities.

For the second year in a row, the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) is the official national organizer for the Entrepreneurship World Cup Lebanon, in partnership with the Asher Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ACIE), Berytech, Beirut Digital District (BDD), Nucleus Ventures, Bloom, and Entreprenergy.

EWC is more than just a global pitch competition with a shot at life-changing prizes. The program empowers entrepreneurs from all stages – idea-stage, early-stage, growth-stage or beyond by providing them with tools and resources to grow their venture.

All participants will receive access to EWC Accelerates, a virtual training program that helps entrepreneurs hone their skills and increase their chances of winning their national competitions and advancing to the Global Finals.

The EWC online platform also offers all contestants who start an application access to US$1,000 worth of perks. All founders who complete an application will receive access to more than US$25,000 worth of perks. The top EWC 100 will receive US$100,000 in kind from partners such as AWS, Freshworks, Google Cloud, Hubspot, Stripe, Zoom and more. 

The Lebanese National Finals competition will be held at USEK on September 6, 2022. In October, all global finalists will be invited to participate in an intensive virtual startup bootcamp and the top EWC 100 will qualify to pitch live at the EWC Global Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in November 2022.

Since its launching in 2019, the Entrepreneurship World Cup has attracted 400,000 registrations from most of the world’s countries and connected founders with over US$3M in cash prizes and another US$256M worth of perks and free support and services.
