The Annual Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC), which gathers together thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, policymakers and other start-up champions from more than 170 countries, will take place on April 15-18 in Manana, Bahrain this year—and will include a Saint Lucian delegation.
Michelle N. Samuel, founder of SLUDTERA Social Enterprise and host of the Startup Huddle St. Lucia programme, was overjoyed at being invited to GEC by the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) President, Jonathan Ortmans. She will be a presenter during the Startup Huddle Information Sessions there, as well as an Informal Startup Huddle Ambassador to GEN.
“I’m still a bit lost for words,” she said. “I was not expecting them to reach out to me and make this offer. But I’m extremely honoured and humbled that they would recognise the amount of work it takes to put into organising a team, and to put together such an event on a monthly basis. It shows they have singled out and identified the work my organisation has done since Startup Huddle St. Lucia has launched.”
But Samuel won’t be the only one going to this year’s GEC. Team Startup Huddle St. Lucia will send four other individuals to accompany her: Samuel Lubin, CEO of KL Productions and Marketing Manager of Startup Huddle St. Lucia; Vernon Jean, Managing Director of Easy Clicks Solutions; Lisa Yarde, Volunteer Project Manager of Startup Huddle St. Lucia; and Jessica Alexander, Founder of Sa Nou St Lucia. The group will be raising funds for their trip. Samuel said: “We have an event slated for March 31 called Jazz in the Gardens, in Dennery at Chateau Heritage, from 3-8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased from the team members and online at easyclicktickets.com. Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for children.” –
