The BPN Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary
BPN (Business Professionals Network) began its pioneering work in Kyrgyzstan in 1999. Since then, they have been investing in people, their ideas and projects. Twenty-five years of value creation have so far supported around 40,000 jobs - thanks to more than 2,500 business management seminars.
"With high-quality seminars, several years of coaching and what is now a large network, Business Professionals Network helps entrepreneurs make decisive progress. This operational development on 3 continents has been very sustainable for 25 years (over 1941 SMEs supported in 5 countries), generates employment opportunities and strengthens SMEs. I would like to congratulate BPN on its anniversary and wish all those involved continued vigor and enthusiasm in their extremely effective and meaningful development cooperation," says Hansjürg Emch, CEO of EMCH Aufzüge AG.
BPN stands for aid that fights poverty
The central theme of the BPN Foundation's work is helping people to help themselves. In this way, they establish a lasting entrepreneurship with which individuals can find a purpose in life. The seed in support and promotion commitments lies in the fact that people recognize meaning in their business activities and realize this in a way that is beneficial to their lives. Nils Planzer, CEO & VRP Planzer Holding AG, praises BPN's daily international commitment as follows: "We consider the support of small and medium-sized enterprises in developing and emerging countries with Swiss know-how to be particularly future-oriented. This pioneering work creates significant socio-economic value and exciting prospects for many local people and their families. Many thanks to BPN for this unique work".
Think big - Think further - Think of others
BPN works in a consistently impact-oriented manner. In our business processes, we aim to achieve added value that secures entrepreneurial and social benefits in all countries of operation in equal measure and over the long term.
At the end of June, BPN celebrates the special work of the foundation in all its facets with a trip to Kyrgyzstan: the promotion of companies and their development through training, coaching and financial mediation, the facilitation of life prospects in 5 countries, incentives for market-ready investments, a strong network of entrepreneurs - all this is BPN.
