More than 35 years ago, a group of forward-thinking entrepreneurs created a network of likeminded peers to help each other learn and grow. Over these years, this network evolved and became a global association of leaders, founders, builders, and changemakers dedicated to business growth, personal development, and community engagement. Today, with almost 19,000 entrepreneurs across 222 chapters in 83 countries, the organization provides a high-quality support network and helps transform the lives of those who transform the world.
Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) was established in 1987 to empower business owners to reach their full potential through life-enhancing connections, shared experiences, and collaborative learning. It is a peer-to-peer network of entrepreneurs who gain wisdom and support from each other to realize their ambitions and drive positive change in the world. Among its many offerings designed for growth, EO provides education, inspiration, transformation, and invaluable resources in the form of local and global events, leadership development programs, forums, and executive education opportunities.
EO’s purpose is to move the world forward by unlocking the full potential of its members with the ambition of building the world’s most influential community of entrepreneurs. The choices that a member has are not set along a specific path, but rather, a wide-open playing field for them to expand their interests and learn from others who challenge their perspective, question their presuppositions, and encourage their personal and professional growth.
Nestled in Lahore thrives a community of over 100 male and female entrepreneurs who are active members of EO’s Lahore Chapter. Each valuable member embarks on their journey to etch their marks on a local and global scale as they collectively drive a significant portion of Pakistan’s economy and demonstrate EO’s formidable presence as a cornerstone of Pakistan’s most influential business network. A beacon of opportunity, EO provides a fertile ground for these visionaries and is a catalyst for remarkable business successes and profound personal development.
