Governments should increasingly recognize entrepreneurship as a vital component of the workforce, driving economic growth, job creation, and innovative problem-solving.

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.
