Entrepreneurship is a fundamental force driving innovation and boosting competitiveness across every industry, from healthcare and education to technology. By fostering startup growth, it helps sectors evolve, localize value, and expand their economic reach. Developing this capacity requires building a strategic ecosystem of support, one that integrates public–private partnerships, training, incubation, and access to key market opportunities.
Providing certified incubation management training to help leaders and staff of incubators, accelerators, and entrepreneurship support organizations strengthen their capacity and impact. The program is delivered by certified facilitators trained under the InfoDev (WBG) Business Incubation Management Program, ensuring alignment with international best practices while integrating modern tools and regional insights.
Business Support Center is a hub for innovation, entrepreneurship, SME development, and support for larger businesses. It is designed to benefit all ecosystem members and stakeholders, without functioning as a union or business association. While a center can serve multiple sectors, focusing on one sector allows for deeper technical support and stronger strategic partnerships. These centers provide a wide range of services, including advisory, training, mentorship, networking, access to investment, and market linkages. They aim to drive growth, increase productivity, and support transformation across all stages of business development.
The Idea 2 Business (I2B) Program transforms final-year university students into real entrepreneurs by graduation. Instead of leaving with just a degree, participants complete their studies with a registered company, a working product or service, and real customers. The program embeds entrepreneurship directly into the academic journey, combining structured training, access to funding, incubation, and five years of post-graduation support. Delivered in partnership with governments, the private sector, and universities, I2B aligns national priorities with market needs to generate impactful startups. It’s a practical, sector-linked model that creates jobs, drives innovation, and delivers long-term value to the economy.
