The ESHIP Summit is a convening that brings together entrepreneurial ecosystem builders – leaders connecting communities to accelerate entrepreneurship.

Launched in 2017, the ESHIP Summit is a three-year initiative designed to bring together builders of entrepreneurial ecosystems to help accelerate the emerging field of ecosystem building, by collaboratively creating tools, resources, and knowledge to better support communities that empower the makers, doers, and dreamers in our communities.

To dive deeper into the work, check out the opening of our first ESHIP Summit from Victor Hwang, Kauffman Foundation's Vice President of Entrepreneurship. It’s the perfect jumping-off point for history and context.
