Welcome to Venture Café Global’s inclusive platform, featuring the Thursday Gathering, empowers individuals and organizations across the world to learn, connect and share solutions for lasting impact. We welcome innovators of every expertise, experience level and identity to our events as both participants and presenters. We intentionally collaborate with a wide range of moderators, educators and thinkers to lead our programs because the more diverse the group of people engaged in innovation efforts, the bigger and more meaningful the local impact will be.
2022 brought a license agreement for Center for Entrepreneurial Innovation (CEI) to start Venture Cafe Phoenix. Venture Café Global was a match for CEI with the vision of creating a collaborative industry-agnostic community gathering. CEI now hosts and programs the Venture Café Phoenix Thursday Gathering, a weekly event that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, experts, and enthusiasts to network, learn, and showcase their amazing ideas.
The event is held in the space of another initiative by CEI, CEI LabForce, a groundbreaking endeavor that bridges the talent gap in the bio sector. CEI LabForce provides on-demand training and skills development for aspiring and experienced professionals who want to advance their careers and contribute to the thriving bioeconomy in Arizona.
Join us every Thursday. You’ll meet incredible people and witness the incredible innovations that are shaping the future of Arizona. From cutting-edge electric vehicles to lifesaving cancer vaccines, you can see firsthand how innovation in Phoenix is making a difference.
If you’re ready to be part of something bigger than yourself, then connect with us at Venture Café Phoenix. Come to where innovation happens.
