BPN is a Swiss international Non-profit organization that operates in 6 different countries spread over three continents. The main objective of BPN is to reduce unemployment by fostering entrepreneurship. The vision of BPN is therefore to create as many sustainable and dignifying jobs as possible, hence having an impact on the sustainable development of the business sector, and eventually the development of the country as a whole. BPN’s work focusses mainly on promoting Value Based Entrepreneurship, fostering values such as responsibility, commitment, honesty, reliability, diligence, transparency, integrity, and a responsible use of limited resources. Over the past 26 years, BPN has written a beautiful story. Entrepreneurs and whole economies have benefited from BPN’s presence.
BPN currently operates in Kyrgyzstan, Nicaragua, Rwanda, Uganda, Mongolia and Georgia with an entrepreneurship support program.
In 2023 and 2024, official BPN delegations visited Uganda and gained a very positive picture of where Uganda is heading to. BPN then decided to contribute to Uganda’s ambitious vision and targets.
BPN strongly believes in the future of Uganda and launched its program supporting SMEs in Uganda in January 2025. The Goal of the BPN program is to annually select and support promising businesses, consequently enabling the creation of new jobs.
The selection of entrepreneurs is what makes the real difference in the BPN program. A lot of effort is put in the selection process, as we believe that not everyone who does Business has the capacity, the ambition and the vision to grow a sustainable business.
The aim is to increase value addition by using local resources, and the people’s determination to contribute towards this development is clearly perceptible in Uganda. Committed young people are looking for employment and they are willing to take entrepreneurial risks. A real Business culture and the means to undertake entrepreneurial action are often lacking which makes a systematic transfer of business knowledge a pertinent need.
BPN supports companies and their employees to develop and strengthen their products and services and take up a sustainable leading position on the market.
The BPN success model is built on the Four Pillars:
We act fairly, attentively and transparently. This forms the basis for a trusting and successful collaboration.
BPN supports entrepreneurs regardless of their culture and religion. We are politically and religiously neutral.
We listen, question, inspire, educate and think along with you. This is how we help entrepreneurs move forward.
We act with foresight, build on relationships and strive for success together.
We encourage people to leave their comfort zone, look at problems from a different perspective and try out new things. This is how we learn and constantly improve.
Our vision is to contribute to a Value-Based Business Culture and to promote sound entrepreneurship. This benefits entrepreneurs, employees, families, society, and entire countries.
We unleash the potential of existing Small and Medium-sized businesses in Uganda by equipping them with business principles and providing assistance to enable them to professionally lead, manage and grow their company sustainably.
Business Professionals Network (BPN) supports long-term prospects and entrepreneurship in developing countries, thus enabling entrepreneurs, business partners, employees, their families, and, exponentially, the entire country to benefit from this development.
BPN supports the growth of small and mid-sized businesses in developing countries by offering business know-how, coaching and loans under fair terms with the goal of creating as many sustainable jobs as possible. We intend to unharness the potential of skilled labourers and small businesses and support their growth and do this by equipping them with the skills they need to successfully develop and run a business of their own thus creating jobs in their own country which give both the entrepreneurs and their families an opportunity for a better future as well as a lasting benefit for the entire country.
Our contribution should be both meaningful and effective, the allegorical motto being,
BPN strives for both qualitative as well as quantitative growth with low financial risk in developing countries. Our long-term goal is for the countries we work with to become increasingly independent and to provide them with a financial pool and bank of resources that they can eventually manage on their own.
Since the beginning of the program
Who am I?
How do I motivate others?
How do I know which employees are worth involving?
Those who know themselves and their employees well are better able to explain their own or their employees’ behavior and set the right expectations for themselves and others.
Therefore, a personality profile is an important tool, both in personnel management and customer relations, as well as in personal relationships with friends, partners, family members, etc. We will use a personality profile wherever we have to interact with people.

"Working with BPN on the Business Plan has already been an eye-opening experience, even in these early stages. It’s helping me refine my customer segments and shift my focus toward my key customers."
