New Orleans Entrepreneur Week 2025

New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW), the city’s leading celebration of entrepreneurship, culture, and innovation, will return for its 14th year the week of March 24-29, 2025. The annual event that celebrates and connects the city’s entrepreneurial ecosystem will be co-produced by The Idea Village and, for the first time, The Center for Entrepreneurship and Community Development (CECD) at Loyola University’s College of Business.

The collaboration between The Idea Village and Loyola College of Business highlights a shared commitment to driving growth, innovation, and impact for New Orleans’ diverse business community. NOEW 2025 will once again bring together entrepreneurs, industry experts, investors, and community leaders for a week-long series of keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, pitch competitions, and networking opportunities aimed at empowering local entrepreneurs and strengthening regional collaboration.

NOEW 2024 drew 5,400 attendees. NOEW 2025 aims to continue growing this broad audience offering unparalleled opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and entrepreneurial development. With Loyola at the helm, in partnership with The Idea Village and the broader business community, NOEW 2025 will create an even greater platform to drive innovation, growth, and connection across the Gulf South.
