The Entrepreneurship Network

The Entrepreneurs Network (TEN) is a platform of programs and initiatives aimed at growing an entrepreneurial ecosystem that will become a think tank for creating jobs, accelerating innovation and strengthening good entrepreneurial and professional practice. Founded by entrepreneurs and businesses, The Network is open to businesses that seek to make a national impact.

• Supporting the emergence of a new class of entrepreneurs with access to research, programs and resources inside The Network.
