About Emerging Leaders:
The Emerging Leaders program was developed by Boston University's Institute of Technology, Entrepreneurship & Commercialization in tandem with the Small Business Administration to install a seven-month program in which established small business owners could be aided in the expansion of their business. The program resides in over 40 different communities across the States, utilizing geographically-tailored curriculums for local owners. The initiative works to ensure sustainable growth by working with participants to develop a three year action plan marked with performance goals.

From its creation, Emerging Leaders has experienced great success assisting thousands of small businesses, resulting in the creation of over 1,000 new jobs and attracting investments that amass to approximately $20M in financing. Additionally, "firms reported an average of 40 percent revenue growth. Nearly half of them secured federal, state and local contracts worth a cumulative total of $330 million." These successes are the product of the program's opportunities that include mentorships, networking with other local owners, specialized workshops for the executive level, and introduction to the financial community.
