Governments should increasingly recognize entrepreneurship as a vital component of the workforce, driving economic growth, job creation, and innovative problem-solving. Entrepreneurship is no longer just about starting a business; it’s about cultivating the mindset, skills, and resilience needed to adapt in today’s rapidly changing economy. Builders + Backers champions this vision by equipping individuals—especially from diverse and underrepresented communities—with the tools, mentorship, and funding to turn ideas into action. By supporting entrepreneurs at the idea stage, Builders + Backers not only fosters new businesses but also creates a pipeline of future workforce leaders who are adaptable, innovative, and capable of generating solutions that meet both local and global challenges. Governments partnering with such programs can ensure their workforce is equipped with entrepreneurial skills that foster resilience, adaptability, and growth in the face of technological and economic shifts.
