Recognizing the great potential for entrepreneurship to contribute economic growth in developing countries, GBSN supports the development of entrepreneurship training programs globally. GSBN assisted Pan African University in Nigeria with the establishment of a short term training program for small and medium enterprises that is now serving as a model for Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women initiative.

“This dearth of management training also hinders micro, small, and midsize businesses. These are the largest source of jobs in most
developing countries.”
