BPN (short for Business Professionals Network) is a non-profit organization based in Switzerland, founded in 1999 by entrepreneur Jürg Opprecht.
We contribute to a more sustainable and productive economy by supporting small and medium-sized enterprises that are eager to grow. Our organization’s goal is to create jobs and develop value-added businesses in the countries where the program is implemented. This has a significant impact on supporting economic growth and reducing poverty in the long term.
The real driving force behind development is entrepreneurs who consistently invest in and continuously improve their businesses. BPN currently operates in Kyrgyzstan, Nicaragua, Rwanda, Mongolia, and Uganda.
In 2010, at the invitation of the Consulate General of the Swiss Confederation in Mongolia, representatives of the BPN Foundation visited Mongolia to explore the possibility of implementing a program, which became the basis for the opening of the BPN Mongolia branch.
Mongolia has great potential for industrial development and economic growth. Today, many young people need stable jobs. In addition, the Mongolian government has focused in recent years on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and creating domestic value added, which is a major driver of economic growth.
BPN has been successfully implementing its “Small and Medium Enterprise Support Program” in Mongolia since 2012 to contribute to the future development of Mongolia. Our activities are aimed at increasing employment and each year we select and include 25-30 skilled entrepreneurs in the program. In the Mongolian sector, we currently have contracts with over 200 small and medium enterprises.
BPN supports businesses in developing and improving their products and services, and in achieving a sustainable leading position in the market.
BPN carries out the following 3 main activities:
We work honestly, openly, and transparently. This is the foundation of trustful and successful cooperation.
