Entrepreneurship is the engine of innovation, economic growth and social change. It is also a powerful tool for addressing the global challenges we face, such as poverty, climate change and inequality. But how can we ensure that the next generation of entrepreneurs has the skills, resources and opportunities to succeed in a rapidly changing world?

The World Chamber of Commerce Platform (WCHAM PLATFORM) is a global network of chambers of commerce and industry associations that aims to foster entrepreneurship and business development across the world. We believe that by supporting the entrepreneurial ecosystem, we can empower the future leaders of entrepreneurship and create a more prosperous and sustainable future for all.

One of the ways we do this is by providing access to education, training and mentoring for aspiring and existing entrepreneurs. We partner with universities, business schools, incubators, accelerators and other organizations to offer programs that equip entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills and mindset they need to start and grow their businesses. We also connect them with mentors, peers and experts who can offer guidance, feedback and inspiration along their entrepreneurial journey.

Another way we do this is by creating opportunities for networking, collaboration and exposure for entrepreneurs. We organize events, competitions, awards and exhibitions that showcase the achievements and potential of entrepreneurs from different sectors, regions and backgrounds. We also facilitate cross-border trade and investment by linking entrepreneurs with potential partners, customers and investors from our global network of chambers of commerce and industry associations.

A third way we do this is by advocating for a conducive policy environment for entrepreneurship. We represent the voice of entrepreneurs at local, national and international levels, and engage with policymakers and stakeholders to promote policies and regulations that support entrepreneurship and innovation. We also monitor and report on the state of entrepreneurship around the world, and share best practices and recommendations on how to improve the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

By doing these three things, we hope to empower the future leaders of entrepreneurship and help them realize their dreams and aspirations. We believe that entrepreneurship is not only a means of creating wealth, but also a way of creating value for society and solving the problems that matter. We invite you to join us in our mission to make the world a better place through entrepreneurship.
