The United Nations Foundation Global Entrepreneurs Council (GEC) is a strategic advisory council designed to bring together successful, high-profile, entrepreneurs and thought leaders who are committed to finding innovative solutions to global problems. Created in 2011, the GEC is comprised of audacious leaders from various industries and designed to help the UN and the UN Foundation – and its campaigns, partnerships, and programs – reach new audiences and enhance public-private partnerships.

The 2016-2017 GEC is committed to advancing progress on the Sustainable Development Goals and supporting underserved populations including women and girls, youth, and refugees through entrepreneurship and mentoring. By encouraging entrepreneurship on a global level, we can achieve social and economic impact, helping to lift millions out of poverty.
