Creating Opportunities for Economic Growth
Entrepreneurship drives economic development and poverty alleviation. We empower individuals to create, sustain, and grow businesses that uplift their families and communities.
Our Initiatives in Entrepreneurship
-
Business Startup Support and Skill Development: We provide grants, seed funding, and mentorship to help entrepreneurs launch or scale their businesses. Through workshops and boot camps, participants gain critical skills in business management, financial literacy, marketing, and vocational training, ensuring long-term success.
-
Empowerment for Women and Youth: Dedicated programs support women-led businesses and inspire youth to embrace entrepreneurship. With tailored grants, mentorship, and apprenticeships, we address barriers and open doors to opportunity, enabling economic independence and growth.
-
Networking and Market Access: We connect entrepreneurs with investors, markets, and global opportunities through trade fairs, exhibitions, and initiatives like the Global Apprenticeship Hub. This platform facilitates local and international learning experiences with expert business leaders, fully funded by the foundation.
-
Digital and Innovative Solutions: We equip individuals with the tools to thrive in the digital economy. From mobile entrepreneurship training to technology-based business growth, our programs ensure entrepreneurs are prepared to compete in a modern, tech-driven world.
The Ike Odoeme Foundation (TIOF) proudly presents PROJECT MOUNT, a transformative initiative aimed at empowering and supporting the youth and women from communities across Imo State and other parts of Nigeria. This program is designed to provide financial assistance, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities to help participants turn their business ideas into sustainable ventures.
By fostering local innovation and encouraging self-reliance, Project Mount not only reduces unemployment but also drives inclusive economic growth. The initiative is rooted in the belief that with the right support, every aspiring entrepreneur can become a change-maker in their community.
