Each issue of the magazine will deliver relevant, incisive, high- quality content that not only inspires entrepreneurs to achieve their own business success, but delivers a ‘call to action’ as well. It will balance inspiring case studies of local success stories that readers can learn valuable business lessons from, with reference guide-like articles that offer actionable steps entrepreneurs can implement immediately. Local and international experts also weigh-in on pertinent topics, covering a broad range of business issues, along with many tips and ideas on how to make a success of an entrepreneurial venture.
The Director of EDULINK Campus Mr. Kanishka Weeramunda stated “From shaping the business landscape of countries to solving unemployment, there are a range of ways entrepreneurs are preparing our world for a better future. Therefore, this magazine aims to assist in the growth of this vital economic sector, by inspiring our young generation to understand the value and benefits of entrepreneurship and to drive them to look into launching their own innovative companies and providing them with the tools and moti- vation to do so as well as advice, insight, and guides for such aspiring entrepreneurs.”
