Bader's Objectives |
 |
The Bader Young Entrepreneurs Program is a community of inspired and committed young business leaders engaged in supporting young entrepreneurs and promoting small businesses, thus creating employment opportunities, and boosting the private sector dynamics. As such, Bader helps nurture efforts aimed at reducing brain drain, lowering unemployment, promoting excellence and fostering entrepreneurial spirit.
In pursuit of this mission, we have been identifying opportunities where application of the Bader’s people, ideas, and capital can benefit society in significant and measurable ways, and partner with others to leverage our resources and capabilities. A critical part of our work is reaching out to form partnerships with other associations supporting entrepreneurs and SME’s, including private associations, financial institutions, universities, national and international NGOs, and public authorities.
The Bader Young Entrepreneurs Program was established late 2005 under the joint initiative of the Finance Minister and 40 young Lebanese business leaders who were willing to dedicate energy, enthusiasm, financial resources, and time to give back to their community. Based in Beirut, Lebanon, Bader works nationwide with leading educational and financial institutions and other partners to catalyze the economic impact of entrepreneurship, to support the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders, and to develop and disseminate proven programs that enhance entrepreneurial skills and abilities.
Bader aims to serve as a convener, bringing together local, regional, and national leaders to share innovative thinking and engage in dialog related to entrepreneurship and education. In order to better achieve its objectives, Bader will look to other similar foundations around the world for entrepreneurship expertise and guidance.
