Dear colleagues,

We are happy to invite you to the webinar on "Impact with SCALE: Improving the ecosystem of business development service (BDS) providers", taking place online on 12 January 2023 from 15:30 to 17:00 CET (Swiss time).

During this interactive webinar, you will have the opportunity to learn how simple, cost-effective, changes in relation to SCALE1 characteristics improve an entrepreneur's journey to success and their enterprise's ability to create impact.

Why do some enterprise support programs make little to no meaningful difference whereas others prove transformative in accelerating enterprise growth, employment gain, ability to raise capital, and the expansion of enterprises delivering social and environmental goods?

SCALE refers to five fundamental considerations that distinguish high-performing BDS programs, and offers BDS providers and funders guidance on how to implement practices that improve the effectiveness of BDS programs.

This session will:

* showcase the impact of evidence-based approaches; and

* provide examples of how funders and enterprise support organizations (ESOs) have responded to the evidence to boost impact.

You will hear presentations from the Argidius Foundation, the Small Foundation and the Business Council for Peace and you will have the opportunity to ask your questions and directly exchanging with the presenters.
