The Global Entrepreneurship Network operates a platform of projects and programs in 170 countries aimed at making it easier for anyone, anywhere to start and scale a business.
In Sudan, GEN is supporting entrepreneurs who continue to build, innovate, and grow their communities even when challenged by conflict and displacement. GEN's members have uncommon access to the most relevant knowledge, networks, communities and programs. For example, GEN's Chair of the Board, Jeff Hoffman, delivered, an e-commerce masterclass looking to scale in the digital economy.
