business week
A week devoted thematically to business or economics, for example as part of an event series, a conference, or a project at a school or university.
Die Universität organisiert eine Wirtschaftswoche mit Vorträgen von führenden Managern.
The university is organizing a business week with talks by leading managers.
The word is made up of 'Wirtschaft' (business/economy), the linking -s, and 'Woche' (week). So it literally means a 'week of business/economics', which can describe both a magazine and a themed week.
Die Schüler nehmen an einer Wirtschaftswoche teil, um mehr über Finanzen zu lernen.
The students are taking part in a business week to learn more about finance.
To distinguish the meanings, pay attention to the article and the context. 'Die Wirtschaftswoche' (with the definite article) usually means the well-known magazine. 'Eine Wirtschaftswoche' (with the indefinite article) or a context involving events refers to a themed week.
In der Wirtschaftswoche stand ein interessanter Bericht über Start-ups.
There was an interesting report about start-ups in WirtschaftsWoche.
When referring to the magazine, typical verbs are 'lesen' (to read), 'abonnieren' (to subscribe to), or 'zitieren' (to quote). You often find phrases such as 'ein Artikel in der Wirtschaftswoche' (an article in WirtschaftsWoche) or 'laut Wirtschaftswoche' (according to WirtschaftsWoche).
Er abonniert die Wirtschaftswoche, um über Finanzthemen informiert zu bleiben.

In the context of a themed week, the word is often used with verbs such as 'organisieren' (to organize), 'veranstalten' (to hold/host), or 'teilnehmen an' (to take part in).
