# Event Details - **Event Name**: Startup Picnic JHB | Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Nov, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sat, 21 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+00:00) - **Event Description**: Startup Picnic JHB | Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 You probably won't know who you should have met until after you've met them. Startup Picnic is back — 21 November 2026, as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW 206). Since 2014, Startup Picnic has been the relaxed place where founders, investors, innovators and builders come together to connect, unwind and build relationships — over a proper braai, good music, games, cold drinks and conversations that don't feel like networking. You could meet a founder who becomes a partner. An investor who opens a door. A builder who helps you solve a problem. Or simply someone who changes how you think. And the cost of finding out? One Saturday afternoon. That's the Startup Picnic idea: put yourself in a room where the upside is potentially significant, while keeping the commitment small. What started as a casual picnic has grown into a movement. Over the years, we've hosted and featured entrepreneurs including Irfan Pardesi, Busta Madiba (Perere Restaurants), Max Lichaba, Mark Makhubalo, Puseletso Modimogale, Kagiso Maloma, Tabatso Molapo and many others. A new chapter Startup Picnic has evolved into Startup Picnic Venture Studio (SPVS). We build AI-native fintech and technology startups at the intersection of finance, AI and intellectual property. As a hybrid venture studio, investor and IP infrastructure builder, we create companies designed to generate lasting value through smart IP, data and financial systems. We believe Africa's next great wave of wealth will be built not only through companies, but through the intellectual property systems behind them. At Startup Picnic Expect:  Meaningful conversations with ambitious founders and investors  A proper braai, food, drinks, games and good music  Networking that actually feels natural  Updates on our Enterprise Supplier Development (ESD) programmes  A preview of our upcoming AI Business & Innovation Coach  New ideas, opportunities and people worth knowing We've proudly collaborated with Nedbank, ABSA, Standard Bank, CSIR, The Innovation Hub, Wits Business School, University of Johannesburg, UNISA, Technoserve, SAICA and many other leading organisations. Our Startup Picnic Magazine has also featured global voices including Grant Cardone, Brad Feld, York Zucchi, Lebogang Mukansi and others. Don't optimise only for what you already know. Sometimes the most valuable opportunity is the one you couldn't have predicted. 21 November 2026. Global Entrepreneurship Week. Johannesburg. Come connect. Come learn. Come laugh. Come braai. And give yourself a chance to meet someone you didn't know you needed to meet. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bedfordview/startup-picnic-jhb-global-entrepreneurship-week-2026/200030208085543 - **Event Categories**: business, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 80 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Bedfordview - **location**: TBA - **full address**: TBA, Bedfordview ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Startup Picnic JHB | Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/9b1c8c997a8a613f887eff4ccf02bbe611f46338157f4cde188e2db71de11e77-rimg-w1200-h689-dcf8f8f8-gmir?v=1788290389 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Startup Picnic JHB | Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 being held? - **A:** Startup Picnic JHB | Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 takes place on Sat, 21 Nov, 2026 at 08:00 am to Sat, 21 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm at TBA, Bedfordview. - **Q**: Who is organizing Startup Picnic JHB | Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026? - **A:** Startup Picnic JHB | Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 is organized by Startup Picnic Venture Studio. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
