Stimulating Entrepreneurship and Business Growth in Asia Pacific

By

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 9 APRIL

Our Goal

The Stimulating Entrepreneurship and Business Growth programme is a nine-month capacity building programme. It began in support of COVID-19 response, recovery, and rebuilding efforts of impact-driven organisations in South East Asia. The year marks the second edition of the programme that will focus on for-profit, women-led organisations in the wider Asia Pacific region.

Our partners

We are delighted to collaborate with Moody’s, whose mission to provide trusted insights and standards that help decision-makers act with confidence is aligned with our own mission to move capital towards impact. Through their Reshape Tomorrow™ program, Moody’s is helping to bring thousands of entrepreneurs the tools, skills and knowledge they need to make better decisions and grow their small businesses.
