DEVELOPING THE ENTREPRENEUR

At Enablis, we know that succeeding in one's personal and professional life heavily depends on the connections we establish and the access we gain with others. Networking sessions are category-specific to provide members with opportunities to connect and share on topics that are relevant to their business maturity.

MEMBERS EXPOSES: When members showcase their businesses, they have a unique opportunity to present their products and services to a wider business audience of potential customers, partners and investors.

NETWORKING EVENTS: We make it easy for our members to interact with each other and have access to knowledgeable business people from various industries and countries.

• ENABLIS CIRCLEs ("E-CIRCLE"): Enablis’ flagship program is based on the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) model, whereby members form groups of no more than 10 meet, and meet 4 hours per month to provide peer support to one another. The E-Circle is a great way for our members to experience team coaching in a confidential environment. 

WORKSHOPS: Monthly workshops/seminars on general business and sector-specific topics presented by external experts stimulate entrepreneurs’ enthusiasm for learning.

SEMINARS: Industry/market-specific discussions led by experts develop entrepreneurial expertise.

INTERNATIONAL MENTORING: Our most advanced members have the privilege to be eligible for the International Mentoring Program run by the Enablis Foundation. Established executives from around the world share on a monthly basis the skills they master with Enablis entrepreneurs. Mentees and mentors are matched based on mutual experience and interests. All benefit from this memorable relationship.
