A group of like-minded organizations across the globe that gather to advance youth entrepreneurship education through shared learning, quarterly calls, and competitions.
Well-resourced organizations seeking peer connection, quarterly all-network calls, and joint funding — e.g. NFTE Deutschland (Germany), Aflatoun (Netherlands).
Organizations building capacity and readiness toward a NFTE license partnership — e.g. ENpower (India), Matriz (Kazakhstan), AgriHope (Kenya).
Quarterly all-network calls, joint funding and research opportunities, program collaboration, and networking with like-minded orgs worldwide.
WSI is the primary student-facing touchpoint for network members. Many host Innovation Days. WYEC (NYC, Nov 2026) is open to all network member students.
NFTE’s EMI (co-developed with ETS) measures growth across 8 domains: Comfort with Risk, Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Flexibility, Future Orientation, Initiative, Opportunity Recognition.
Membership is a natural stepping stone — organizations can expand to a NFTE Program Journey license when ready, gaining curriculum access and deeper NFTE support.
