The inspiration of the Enablis Entrepreneurial Network can be explained using the mathematical formula POWER OF NETWORK = N² where N is the number of entrepreneurs in the network. The old saying ‘two heads are better than one’, is the best way to emphasize that entrepreneurs coming together, working and sharing across countries and continents, will produce ultimate results.

It is widely acknowledged that entrepreneurship and enterprise development are key to economic growth and prosperity. Small, medium and micro-sized enterprises (SMMEs) are the principal driving forces of economic development. They stimulate entrepreneurial skills, expand private ownership and empower individuals. SMMEs are adaptable and flexible, and as such are able to respond quickly to changing markets. In addition, SMMEs help diversify economic activity, make significant contribution to exports and trade, and generate employment.

Enablis believes in the potential of entrepreneurship in the developing world to enhance economic development and job creation. Entrepreneurs, however, need support and skills to become successful and reach their full potential. Enablis is a unique organisation that focuses on driving measurable social and economic development by supporting entrepreneurs, men and women, in the developing world through a holistic approach using networking, capacity building and improved access to finance.
