SUPPORT DEVELOPING ECONOMIES WITH EDN

The EDN Search Engine provides an intuitive, centralized Web-based platform for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to connect with local business service and capital providers in emerging economies to help foster investment and cultivate business development.

THE EDN SEARCH ENGINE ENABLES NGOs TO:

- Promote programs and initiatives that support business development and growth — with a MyEDN profile page, links to relevant content and optional sponsorship opportunities

- Access information to help define and develop new Programs

- Identify potential partners to assist in the organization’s mission, such as appropriate business service providers, capital providers, government agencies, other NGOs, etc.

- Champion socially and globally responsible investment processes with a wide audience

- Track the success of programs by monitoring connections, contacts and transactions

By leveraging the strength of The EDN Search Engine, NGOs can better ensure the success of their programs by increasing their reach to more qualified business enterprises around the globe.

THE EDN SEARCH ENGINE

Established in 2007, EDN has developed partnerships with dozens of business service providers (BSP) located around the world. EDN is expanding to include the resources of lenders and equity providers (CAP, or Capital Providers), US and foreign government organizations (GOV), and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO).

The EDN Search Engine gives businesses instant access to EDN partners’ wide range of programs and services, including technical assistance grants, private and public funding, and other business opportunities, services and support.

Ultimately, EDN provides a common platform for business enterprises to find the resources they need from qualified and trusted providers — and for EDN partners to market their portfolios, programs and services directly to the emerging markets they strive to serve.

The EDN Search Engine fills the gap in the global effort to strengthen developing economies by providing instant access to information, tools, and experienced professional assistance — as well as the capital — necessary for success.
