Innovation Promotion Program - Bridge for Billions

Innovation needs to focus on the most pressing issues of our time

Boost purpose-driven innovation and support the development of solutions to the problems that matter.

Our ecosystem lacks opportunities

The ugly truth of the entrepreneurship ecosystem is that it has a preconceived idea of what success is and looks like when it comes to innovation. That’s why many organizations only support low risk entrepreneurs working in trendy sectors.

As decision makers we need to shift the mindset of our organizations and start tackling the issues that are most pressing for the common good and not only those that are a hot topic. To fight back some of the most important problems of today’s world we need to support diverse entrepreneurs developing all kinds of purpose-driven solutions.

An entrepreneurship program to advance change

Create a program to tackle the challenges of your sector or in the cause your organization is already working on.

Work side by side with the most agile mindsets of the ecosystem and get a front row seat to innovation in your sector.

Tailor the program to provide the resources and support needed to the specific group of entrepreneurs. Ensure they have all they need to build innovative and resilient solutions.

“To be able to design a program like Future Cities with Bridge for Billions as a strategic partner has allowed us to learn about entrepreneurs with innovative solutions who are already working towards building sustainable and responsible cities. We were able to create our own innovation network with whom to continue to collaborate.”

1 Needs Assessment

Count on our expertise running entrepreneurship programs in 147 countries and across all sectors to understand how to reach your organization’s objectives. Let’s define the type of entrepreneur you want to support, the sector of your interest, the ideal mentors, niche resources and sector experts if needed for your program.

2 Program Kickoff

After we align on the pillars of your entrepreneurship program, your assigned Program Manager is ready to kick-off. In collaboration with Marketing we will develop communication materials to find the entrepreneurs and mentors for your program. Once the selection process is over we’ll build the perfect teams between mentors and entrepreneurs. You can also include your employees as mentors!

3 Implementation Support

We manage all aspects of the program implementation with you, from launch and scouting of participants in your sector of interest to facilitation, incubation support and impact reporting. Our incubation platform comes equipped with the content, methodology and technology to make the program easy-to-manage and a complete success. Feel free to add sector specific sessions or resources in order to provide a tailor-made experience to your participants.

4 Closing and Evaluation

After entrepreneurs have validated and built strong businesses and meaningful relationships through their weekly one-to-one sessions and training with their mentors, we can host a demo day to celebrate the achievements and reflect on the experience with all your stakeholders. You’ll also get a complete report with the key results and learnings from the program.
