Partnering With the Global Entrepreneurship Program
The Global Entrepreneurship Program (GEP) can only succeed if we engage the private and non-profit sectors. Partners are sought from the United States as well as in the countries in which the GEP operates.
Partners include:
-
NGOs who work in any aspect of entrepreneurship promotion,
-
Colleges and universities who provide specialized education for entrepreneurship,
-
Corporations who consider promoting entrepreneurship to be an important goal – either as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs or their mainstream business,
-
Foundations who work in promoting entrepreneurship, and
-
Investors and financial institutions that have a particular focus on investing in start-ups and small/medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging market countries.
Virtually all GEP partners are already active in entrepreneurship promotion activities. Thus, in an effort to develop entrepreneurship ecosystems, GEP partner organizations are asked to add incrementally to their current activities.
