  • In order to measure the impact BiD Network has with its budget, the results achieved by each company are reflected in the year they submitted the business plan and therefore received the support from BiD Network and not the year they actually achieved these results.
  • It is worth mentioning that 2008 still presents very low results compared to the other years mainly due to time. Companies, especially in developing countries, take time to start and grow and results are usually better achieved after at least 2 years of operation.

For many entrepreneurs BiD Network is just the starting point in their business. Visit the following pages to see the progress made by our participants:
