Entrepreneurs Thrive Here: artwhich® in London, United Kingdom to Join Global Movement Opening Its Doors to Would-Be Founders this November.

artwhich® will participate in Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) 2026 in London, opening its doors to aspiring founders with two free interactive workshops on 16 and 17 November as part of the global "Entrepreneurs Thrive Here" campaign. The organisation announced its participation on 18 September 2026 and said the GEW campaign — running 16–22 November 2026 — reaches more than 10 million people annually and spans 200 countries with over 75,000 events.

"The progress we make on the existential challenges of our time - food security, climate change, energy, the eradication of deadly diseases, the responsible governance of AI - will not come from governments, or corporations alone, or the handful of celebrated founders whose names we all know," said Jonathan Ortmans, founder of Global Entrepreneurship Week, highlighting the grassroots ambition of the campaign.

Event details and programming

artwhich®, based at 167-169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London, W1W 5PF, will host two hands-on digital sessions aimed at aspiring entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and emerging leaders. The first, on Monday 16 November 2026, is titled "The Post-AI Founder: Mindful Leadership Profiling and Team Strategy" and will include a live run of the research-backed artwhich® Mindful Leadership Compass Quiz (Beta V1) to help participants map strengths, identify founder identities and translate those insights into investor and team messaging.

The second session, on Tuesday 17 November 2026, is "De-Risking Your Venture: A 60-Minute Value Proposition Sprint", which artwhich® describes as a step-by-step framework to build a stress-tested Value Proposition Canvas and validate concepts with potential customers before committing capital and time.

Context: why GEW 2026 matters

The GEW 2026 campaign arrives amid a rapid restructuring of labour and skills globally. artwhich® cites the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 projection that 92 million jobs will be displaced by 2030 while 170 million new roles will be created in the same period — a net increase of 78 million roles. Against that backdrop, artwhich® founder May Ho framed the workshops as practical introductions to essential leadership and systems thinking.

"As rapid technological shifts and macroeconomic pressures reshape traditional career paths, self-awareness and systems thinking are no longer optional - they are core survival skills for future leaders," Ho said. "Before jumping into business execution, founders need to understand their unique leadership strengths. Our GEW 2026 sessions are practical, free tasters designed to give aspiring entrepreneurs the tools to test market demand, refine their messaging, and build resilient ventures from day one."

Outlook

By aligning with GEW's global footprint, artwhich® seeks to bring practical, research-backed tools into local networks and non-traditional spaces, from community centres to virtual rooms. The organisation positions its workshops as low-barrier entry points for would-be founders to assess leadership fit and market demand before scaling.
