We seek to foster a community of individuals and organizations interested in the empowering potential of entrepreneurship. By encouraging collaboration, advancing knowledge, identifying best practices, and sharing tools and approaches, we hope to better understand and facilitate the role of entrepreneurial behavior in alleviating poverty across the globe.
