The program also includes networking opportunities and work with mentors. Today CEED has a number of programs aimed at promoting entrepreneurship in Armenia and creating links with potential partners in countries that have CEED presence. The goal of the Center is to connect local entrepreneurs to the tools and resources necessary to take their companies to the next level.—0
