The BPN focuses on existing SMEs led by motivated and talented entrepreneurs, both male and female, who will benefit from systematic and applied business training in Mongolia’s relatively conducive business environment.

The BPN project provides intensive training, a loan system, business organisation and political leverage-building for its selected clients. It also promotes ethics for best business practices, which often requires a shift in the way of thinking of entrepreneurs in post-socialist countries.
