For more than four decades, Empretec has helped entrepreneurs develop the skills, confidence and networks needed to start and grow successful businesses. As entrepreneurship ecosystems continue to evolve, there is a growing need to connect promising founders with the mentors, investors, partners and international networks that can help them reach the next stage of growth. This special session will mark the launch of Empretec 100, a new global initiative designed to identify and connect high-potential entrepreneurs from across the Empretec network. Through a series of short talks and conversations, entrepreneurs, mentors and ecosystem leaders will share insights from their own journeys and discuss how stronger networks, mentorship, investment and ecosystem support can help unlock entrepreneurial potential and accelerate business growth in an increasingly digital and AI-driven economy.
