APRIL 22-24, 2024 • CLUJ, ROMANIA

The Global Summit for Christian Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Builders in Emerging and Frontier Markets

What is FORGE?

FORGE Global Summit 2024 was the third annual gathering of believers driving change through entrepreneurship in emerging and frontier markets. Participants were immersed in a unique blend of culture, faith, entrepreneurship, and opportunity. They were able to engage with models, practical tools, resources, and mentorship opportunities while connecting with people God has planted around the world who share a passion and a calling for business.
‍
Following the FORGE Global Summit, select training and acceleration organizations were invited to an additional two-day event called FORGE Construct for deeper practical workshops and off-site engagement. To learn about the criteria for participants, contact sbracquine@sinapis.org.

Why Romania?

FORGE strives to showcase thriving Christian entrepreneurial ecosystems across different cultures. Romania ranks in the top 20% entrepreneurial economies in the world and has a growing community of business owners centered in Cluj who are striving to reflect Christ through their work. Our host partner, Guild Faith, has a compelling model for other ecosystem leaders.

Guild Faith and the Romanian entrepreneurs they support were joined by a group of entrepreneurial leaders from neighboring Moldova, who share a language, a similar culture, and a strong passion for kingdom entrepreneurship.
