About New Orleans Entrepreneur Week

New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW) brings together innovators, creatives, and big thinkers for an exciting week packed with inspiration, learning, and connections—all with a unique New Orleans twist. Now co-produced by Loyola University’s College of Business and The Idea Village, NOEW 2025 is stepping up with fresh leadership to grow its impact across the Gulf South.

Expect a lineup of engaging experiences: think panels, hands-on sessions, summits, pitches, networking events, and more! Get ready for a full week of conversations, ideas, and community designed to elevate and support the entrepreneurial journey.

Last year, we kicked off the 3rd Coast Venture Summit (3CVS), an event designed to link Gulf South startups with investors and industry leaders nationwide. It's back this year, ready to connect and empower even more trailblazers.

NOEW’S PODCAST:

INNOVATION x CULTURE

Recorded live at New Orleans Entrepreneur Week, Big Easy Ideas is a thought leadership podcast focused on startups, innovation, entrepreneurship, technology, and culture.

You’ll hear from a diverse range of successful business leaders, startup founders, investors, culture bearers….and more!

FOUNDERS’ JOURNEYS

During NOEW 2024, we dedicated a stage to founders sharing their stories; lucky for you, all sessions were recorded and are live on YouTube!

These inspiring journeys include highlights like 'My Miracle on Bourbon Street,' 'Faith of a Founder,' and 'Market Disruptor: A Brief Discourse from a Black American Brewmaster,' among many others.
