Mission

Founded in 1968, TechnoServe helps entrepreneurial men and women in poor rural areas of the developing world to build businesses that create income, opportunity and economic growth for their families, their communities and their countries. Our programs focus on developing entrepreneurs, building businesses and industries, and improving the business environment. Over the course of four decades, we've learned what does and doesn't work. Our scaled-up initiatives and our expansion into new industries and regions build upon and adapt our successful business models and programs.
