Equator Net Members - Introducing Online Network by MBAs Without Borders!

Dear Equator Net Members,


Want to join MBAs Without Borders' own new online network, b2d and get the online business support you always wanted?

Our MBAs and Partners (i.e. businesses and NGOs in developing countries) have said they want a place where they can find projects, jobs and ask and answer questions related to business in developing countries, so we thought, it's time to get everyone talking.

So...we're trying out a new online platform and have created a MBAs Without Borders online network called b2d - 'business 2 development'. We've just launched it and will be testing it over the next weeks and months, so please feel free to sign up, try it out and make as many suggestions as you like, so we can truly benefit the users - MBAs and Local Entrepreneurs in Developing Countries.

MWB has supported 20+ businesses and NGOs in developing countries in over 15 countries to date and by 2010, MWB plans to have partnered 150+ MBAs with over 125 business/NGOs in at least 35 countries.
