Entrepreneurship and Innovation for economic growth in Bhutan

Despite these challenges, there are stories of entrepreneurial innovation in the country that has identified USPs in its cultural heritage and opportunities such as a stable support from the government for entrepreneurship with initiatives such as the Entrepreneurship Support Program that provide funding, mentorship and networking opportunities for aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs.

Known for its unique Gross National Happiness index and its strong and steady commitment to sustainable development, Bhutan offers a promising environment for fostering innovation to enhance economic growth, create employment opportunities and promote wellbeing. Therefore, the forum will aim to explore the current landscape of entrepreneurial innovation in Bhutan, identify the opportunities and challenges faced by entrepreneurs, and discuss strategies to move forward.
