Global Founders & Innovators Summit 2027 Opens Registration Around the Full Business Journey
May 12 to 13 online Summit brings aspiring entrepreneurs, founders, business owners and innovators together with investors, advisors, speakers and partners across Start, Grow, Profit, Exit and Social Impact.
Download PDFOctober 5, 2026. Eprenz has opened registration for the Global Founders & Innovators Summit 2027, a global online gathering on May 12 and 13 built around a simple premise. People at different stages of business face different decisions, and progress depends on finding the right knowledge, relationships and resources for the stage ahead.
An aspiring entrepreneur validating an opportunity faces a different challenge from a founder trying to reach the next level of growth. A business owner improving profitability faces different decisions from an owner preparing for succession, valuation or a future sale.
Yet those journeys connect.
Ideas need customers. Growth needs systems, teams and capital. Profitability requires better financial decisions. Long term business value depends on businesses becoming stronger and less dependent on their owners. Innovation needs people prepared to turn new solutions into something useful. Social impact requires sustainable models able to create lasting value.
The Global Founders & Innovators Summit 2027 is designed around this progression.
Five dedicated tracks follow the business journey
Start focuses on opportunity validation, customers, credibility and strong foundations. Grow addresses sales, marketing, technology, systems, teams, operations and partnerships. Profit moves into margins, cash flow, pricing, efficiency and business value. Exit focuses on succession, valuation, buyer readiness and owner independence. Social Impact explores how businesses create measurable social, environmental and community value.
Around those journeys sits a wider ecosystem.
Investors bring capital and investment perspective. Advisors and experienced operators bring lessons from businesses they have built and supported. Speakers bring practical frameworks and case studies. Partners and sponsors bring tools, services and resources. Other entrepreneurs bring experience from different markets and stages.
The aim is to connect these groups around real business challenges rather than treat each one as a separate audience.
“Someone working toward their first customer does not need the same support as an owner preparing to sell a company. Both need the right people, perspective and resources at the right point in their journey.”
“We are building the 2027 Summit around those moments, so people leave with greater clarity about what comes next and relationships to help them move forward.”
A connected experience before, during and after the Summit
The 2027 experience also extends beyond the two main live days.
Lessons from previous Summits led Eprenz to build a more connected experience before, during and after May 12 and 13. Pre-Summit events, early content, networking opportunities, partner sessions and post-Summit experiences will give participants multiple ways to engage across the Summit ecosystem rather than treating the live event as an endpoint.
The previous Summit recorded 3,800 live session attendees across 40 sessions, with 35 speakers, panelists and hosts. The wider Eprenz ecosystem now includes more than 157,000 community members.
For 2027, the focus shifts from the scale of the gathering toward what participants do with it.
The full two-day live Summit is available through the free Community Summit Pass. Additional All Access and Founder Circle options add recordings, resources and facilitated implementation experiences for participants seeking further support.
Registration is now open for the Global Founders & Innovators Summit 2027.
