We are firmly anchored to an aspirational vision to shape future-focused economies by enabling entrepreneur and business support organizations (EBSOs) as transformative leaders.

This vision is guided by foundational pillars that fuel our passion as we explore direct channels to strengthen EBSOs across emerging markets.

As foundational pillars, ARC-11 recognizes the:

• Role of technology and innovation as catalysts for enhancing local business competitiveness while understanding the importance of mitigating vulnerabilities these tools may bring

• Critical need for fair distribution and democratization of information, ensuring economies are sufficiently resourced with marketplace information to support sustainable growth

• Importance of continuous learning, collaborative solution-finding, and thoughtful feedback loops in driving outcomes toward healthy local economies based on collective goals that serve the greater good

• Boundless possibilities within emerging markets and rising economies as promising growth centers where innovation and entrepreneurship can flourish beyond traditional hubs

• Unique value proposition and strengths of each community—from diverse business assets to targeted industries—demanding a lens that honors these differences

• Central role of relationships in our people-centric approaches, connecting with organizational leaders as whole people within ecosystems that can grow and adapt with human well-being at their core
