Google for Entrepreneurs Week is an annual week celebrating innovators and entrepreneurs around the world. Last year, more than 3,000 entrepreneurs attended Google for Entrepreneurs Week events in 29 cities in 14 countries.

This year, from September 30 – October 4, 2013, Googlers in more than 45 cities around the world will host events including community meetups, mentorship sessions, and product training workshops. Five such events will be held in Africa (Kampala, Johannesburg, Lagos, Tunis, and Accra). The goal is to equip entrepreneurs with the skills they need to build and scale their businesses. Many events only occupy a couple of hours, but Nigeria’s looks to be more lengthy.
