GEW: Sacramento Entrepreneurial State of the Union
Join Us for the 7th Annual Sacramento Entrepreneurial State of the Union
Part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025, presented by Western Health Advantage
We’re kicking off Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025 with a high-impact gathering of the region’s leading ecosystem builders, innovators, founders, funders, and civic champions. The Sacramento Entrepreneurial State of the Union is our flagship event, setting the tone for a week filled with dynamic workshops, pitch events, and programming designed to elevate entrepreneurship across the Capital Region.
Now in its seventh year, this convening will explore the state of our regional innovation and startup ecosystem—what's working, what’s emerging, and what’s needed next.
Hosted by the Sacramento Entrepreneurial Growth Alliance (SEGA), this year’s event will spotlight how we’re growing our ecosystem from within—strengthening local connectivity, cultivating a culture of collaboration, and building a more inclusive capital stack to fuel bold ideas from all corners of our community.
