EPSIG objectives
The Entrepreneurship Special Interest Group (#EMWAEPSIG) intends to support EMWA members looking to expand their business.
The aim is to create a network of members who have taken the next step from working solo to running a company, whatever the business model.
The intention is to create a professional space where members can access business advice and learn from the experiences of others who are at varying stages of their business development journey. Each member’s contribution to the group’s activities is valuable and unique.
