PUM drives local positive impact on a global scale. PUM works with small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as entities that support them. Our 1,200 experts collaborate with ambitious entrepreneurs in more than 30 countries and share their experience to optimise entire business ecosystems. A business ecosystem is a collaboration between businesses and supporting organisations when needed to address common challenges and opportunities, and to create more economic, social and ecological value.
The key players within a business ecosystem include entrepreneurs (SMEs and other businesses), organisations that support these businesses, and institutions like educational institutes, employers’ organisations and government agencies. PUM coordinates activities with various clients within a business ecosystem to realise sustainable impact through replication, collaboration, and cross-fertilisation.
Working within ecosystems is not an end in itself, it serves as a means to achieve shared objectives. Each ecosystem is unique and will have specific goals depending on the business environment, type of entrepreneurs and challenges. The significance lies in the collaboration among different players, fostering mutual growth, knowledge sharing and exchanging innovative ideas, while also strengthening the relationships with suppliers and customers, and improving conditions for entrepreneurs.
