To do so, the WIForum team supports entrepreneurs by a whole set of programs and supportive events. Starting April 6, we are kicking off a series of online events, followed by local meetups in your country, combined with investor sessions and accelerator programs. Each month we address a different topic from idea validation to fundraising, from innovative thinking to going global. Our objective: Empowering 1,000 teams to get IPO ready by 2030. We seek to empower entrepreneurs building mayor companies that will create thousands of jobs and export their wares into global markets.

entrepreneurs to thrive and become successful.

Entrepreneurship Acceleration (EAP)

As an entrepreneur you will build a business, hire teams, raise funds for growth and can become an important pillar of your economy. We want to support you in the very same way like we have been supported in Silicon Valley: Guidance, inspiration, education and all the freedom you need to build an amazing company. Moreover we will support you with your most critical challenges, help you raise capital for growth, provide mentorship and whatever else you may be needing.

Innovation Capital Network (ICN)

The Innovation Capital Network (ICN) is a young global network of investors. Main purpose: augment the local capital with international capital. We connect local with foreign investors, help investors synchronize on due diligence best practices and more. We help entrepreneurs prepare their business plans, financials and other documentation to be acceptable for international investors. ICN members will always co-invest with local investors.

One Space – One World

Entrepreneurs need to roam the world to gain experiences and and an understanding for international businesses. One Space – One World is a program for co-working spaces to unite globally and make it easy for international entrepreneurs to find a space in foreign countries. Programs will be developed and distributed for those organizations, entrepreneurs and corporate innovators, who seek to develop the next generation of collaborative office environment.

Events

Monthly Meetups

The local monthly meetups are hold to foster relationships among entrepreneurs and build a Silicon Valley Style innovation culture. Each month will have a special them and topic that is supported by global webinars and other means of communication. The meetups are a good place to discuss the topics and share ideas. The intellectual exchange is the main “food” for the brain to create innovative ideas and as such those meetups should be seen as strategically important.
