Objective Statement:
IBA Entrepreneurship Society (IBAES) was formed in 2005 by a group of young, enthusiastic, would-be entrepreneurs. It quickly grew into one of the most active and popular societies at IBA. IBAES has managed to uphold the legacy of entrepreneurship in IBA and provide students a launch pad to take-off as successful entrepreneurs. This society not only focuses on for-profit entrepreneurship, but also advocates entrepreneurship as a tool for bringing positive social change. This year, IBA Entrepreneurship Society (IBAES) aims to promote “Entrepreneurship with a Purpose”. We plan on training youth about channeling investments, networking, mentoring, growth and collaborations through our newly launched event IBA Emerging Entrepreneurs (IEE). We plan to promote the message of entrepreneurship among our youth through different platforms and initiatives. Furthermore, we will continue to host our flagship event, INVENT, to assist entrepreneurs of tomorrow in getting funding for their startups. This year, to fulfill our mission, we also plan on conducting social entrepreneurship activities, like food drives in collaboration with small businesses, guest speaker session and other small projects. We aim to make this year a fruitful and active one.
