The 3-day summit was announced earlier in June in Washington by the United States President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It will bring together entrepreneurs from the two countries, focused on the theme ‘Women First, Prosperity for All’ and highlight the critical role women play in fostering global growth and prosperity.
The Summit is a unique opportunity for bringing together entrepreneurs and start ups with global leaders. #GES2017

The relevance of Ivanka Trump accompanying the delegates can be understood given that of late she has emerged as a strong advocate of women and child issues, which fits in sync with the theme of the summit.
The event is being organised by the NITI Aayog in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs.
MaryKay Carlson, Chargé d’Affaires at the US Embassy in New Delhi said, “The Global Entrepreneurship Summit is the latest example of how the US and India are working together to advance the promise of an increasingly digital world and the remarkable entrepreneurial skills of our people to promote prosperity. The Indian government and Prime Minister Modi are great partners, and we thank the city of Hyderabad, whose robust start-up ecosystem, top notch talent, and supportive government policies have made it one of the world’s leading start-up capitals.”
