Entrepreneurship. Action. Us.

Enactus is the world's largest student entrepreneurship initiative.

Driven entirely by volunteers, our members create social start-ups that tackle pressing societal, economic, and environmental challenges.

By combining entrepreneurial action with innovative approaches, we actively contribute to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through this, we aim to drive sustainable, positive impact on a local, national, and global scale.

This year's OEW motto

Innovation doesn't start with a product. It starts with us.

We often talk about the “Enact” in Enactus – the ENtrepreneurship, the ACTion, the impact. Why? Because we are driven by the urge to create impact. We build, we hustle, and we try to solve global problems. Instead of just polishing pitch decks, we are investing in the people behind them.

The Connection
What to expect · 01

The Connection

Going beyond superficial networking. We want to create a space for radical honesty and psychological safety – where we trust each other enough to be vulnerable.

The Compassion
What to expect · 02

The Compassion

You can't pour from an empty cup. We are learning to balance our ambition to change the world with the necessity to take care of ourselves. Sustainable impact needs healthy leaders.

The Action
What to expect · 03

The Action

Yes, we will pitch our projects. But we aren't just celebrating the best business models; we are celebrating the teams that have grown the most together.
