Entrepreneurship
Fueling our future.
Entrepreneurs make a difference. They not only have great ideas, but also the drive to make them a reality. They use their fresh thinking and hard work to create positive social change — bringing new concepts and products to market, and creating jobs and wealth.
We have long recognized the potential of entrepreneurs. For over 30 years, we have been working with entrepreneurs, drawing on our experience, industry capabilities and the EY 7 Drivers of Growth framework to support entrepreneurial, high-growth companies. Our commitment to entrepreneurial companies, in both emerging and developed economies around the world, helps ensure that we’re working with more of tomorrow’s global leaders, today.

Entrepreneurship is — and has always been — the heartbeat of a thriving global economy. Unprecedented shifts in how we live, work, play and build community have created opportunity in every industry. Armed with advances in technology, sustainable solutions, and innovative products and services, entrepreneurs seek out these inflection points to fuel a different kind of future.
