"Make it Monday" forum - What AKEW Means for Anchorage Businesses and Organizations
Alaska Entrepreneurship Week (AKEW) is a statewide initiative designed to spotlight and strengthen Alaska’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, and Anchorage businesses and organizations play a vital role in its success.
The presentation will highlight how AKEW helps local businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs in general gain visibility, connect with new audiences, and position themselves as leaders in the community. When they host events, partner on AKEW programming, or sponsor key activities, Anchorage-based organizations can amplify their impact while contributing to a more resilient and collaborative business environment across the state.
PLUS, a member presentation by Alaska Wealth Advisors.

With a professional background that spans engineering, real estate, construction, and consulting, Pascual brings a cross-sector, systems-thinking approach to every project, and he did the same upon arrival in Alaska over a decade ago: he has played a key role in several high-impact initiatives, including the revitalization of Alaska Entrepreneurship Week (AKEW) and the founding of Launch Alaska, where he served on the inaugural Board of Directors.
Bilingual and globally minded, Pascual combines U.S. and European experience, drawing on insights from technical industries, customer service, and his close connections to medical professionals in Spain. Whether building innovation programs, designing AI-assisted business roadmaps, or advising rural entrepreneurs, Pascual approaches each challenge with creativity, pragmatism, and a commitment to meaningful impact.
