More Than Just a Pitch Competition
Since 2019, the Entrepreneurship World Cup has empowered over 420,000 entrepreneurs from 191+ countries, awarding $6.5 million in cash prizes and unlocking over $150 million in in-kind support—from mentorship to market access. EWC is a catalyst for real growth: helping founders refine their pitch, connect with investors, and scale globally—especially in high-opportunity markets like Saudi Arabia.
Scale That Speaks For Itself.
