Marc firmly believes is that to create is to be human. In every corner of the globe, entrepreneurs are creating the futures for themselves, their families and their communities. Entrepreneurship is the most powerful force that can transcend any political, social, or geographic boundary.

We have developed leveraged activation models to empower local community leaders that have a real impact. We have the opportunity to make entrepreneurship the legacy of our generation, and I'll do everything I can to make sure we don't just talk about making it a reality-Marc Nager.
