The Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO), a global business
network of over 11,000 business owners in 144 chapters across 46 countries,
launched its newest chapter in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania today.
Founded in 1987 by a group of entrepreneurs, EO enables
business owners to learn from one another, leading to greater business success
and an enriched personal life. EO’s vision is to build the world's most
influential entrepreneur community.
As a global business owner network & association, EO helps
to transform the lives of the entrepreneurs who transform the world. EO educates,
transforms, and inspires by providing invaluable resources in the form of
events, leadership-development programs, and business owner education
opportunities designed for business growth.
Over 100 members and guests, including EO members from
across East Africa, leading Tanzanian entrepreneurs, thought leaders and VIPs, joined
incoming EO Global Chairman, Mr. Gilberto Crombé, to launch the first Tanzanian
chapter at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Dar-es-Salaam.
Mr. Crombé said “The launching of our newest chapter in Dar-es-Salaam
is the perfect highlight to a pan African Tour which took an in-depth,
strategic look at the entrepreneurship ecosystems across Lagos/Nigeria, Nairobi/Kenya
& Dar-es-Salaam/Tanzania. Leading business owners the world over value support
from a peer-to-peer community like EO, which inherently becomes attributed to
both their personal and professional successes.”
The keynote address, “Boosting Entrepreneurship in
Tanzania,” was given by Patrick Ngowi, Founder & CEO of Helvetic Group and
winner of KPMG’s Top 100 Mid-Sized Companies 2013, as well as being on Forbes’
30 Most Promising Young Entrepreneurs in Africa 2014.
Nicholas Thiede, a long-standing EO member and founding President
of the Dar-es-Salaam chapter said, “Dar-es-Salaam is home to many of the
country’s leading businesses led by highly dynamic entrepreneurs. As a formal network
of business owners, EO will enable peer-to-peer exchanges and learning
experiences that transcend boundaries such as business sector, business life
cycle or geography.
Our member companies range from the well established to
start-ups, and while the minimum criteria is $1m in turnover per year, most of
our member companies are significantly larger.”
