Helping Barbadian Businesses Grow


The goal of the BEF is to support the development of the country’s entrepreneurial environment and to make Barbados the Entrepreneur’s Island. 


The BEF is a thought-leader and a catalyst for bringing about a positive change in the economy through the promotion and development of entrepreneurship in the island. There are multiple entities in Barbados which seek to meet the needs of entrepreneurs and we will work closely with these to more effectively manage our island’s limited resources.

EDUCATION
