In the face of economic uncertainty in 2017 EY is aiming to help innovative and disruptive start-ups realise their growth potential.
The EY Accelerating Entrepreneurs program has identified 47 high-growth start-ups from Asia-Pacific and Europe, Middle East, India & Africa (EMEIA) to receive training and mentoring in 2017
Over the course of the year, EY firms can provide the selected start-ups with strategic support through leading guidance and planning and help the entrepreneurs identify and develop opportunities to scale and grow their businesses globally.
Access to EY Global Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.
The Accelerating Entrepreneurs program will draw upon the knowledge of an extensive EY network of global entrepreneurs to help the start-ups bolster their business plans in response to increasing economic uncertainty across global markets.
The access provided will help prepare the entrepreneurs to face risks posed by the current geopolitical environment and changing regulatory standards so that they can continue to pursue and realise growth objectives.
2017 marks the third year the EY Accelerating Entrepreneurs program has been conducted in EMEIA and the second year in Asia-Pacific.
Pushing Innovation Boundaries
Over the course of 2017, the 47 selected start-ups will receive a broad program of one-to-one guidance and insight-sharing including:
- The opportunity to network and form ongoing relationships with EY Growth Coaches, global entrepreneurs, industry leaders and EY professionals.
- Access to dedicated EY service professionals to focus on the business issues most critical to the growth support of participants, together with an EY Growth Navigator™ session to help assess capabilities and growth plans.
«Today's entrepreneurs serve a powerful purpose, not only are they pushing the boundaries of innovation but they are also the next generation of world leaders,» said Michael Anghie, EY Asia-Pacific Strategic Growth Markets Leader.
