The EO/MIT Entrepreneurial Masters Program (EMP) – formerly known as Birthing of Giants – is an executive education program that has transformed EO members lives for more than 15 years.
Participation in EMP grants access to some of the best entrepreneurial minds in the world. The program helps already successful entrepreneurs add new skills to their personal and professional tool belts, and it helps them build more profitable and functional companies.
"EMP was an experience of a lifetime. It is a very structured program that enabled me to raise my investments. I learned from unbelievable people, and all of us bonded and developed such a trust in each other that we will remain buddies for the rest of our lives," said Class of 2007 and EO Hyderabad member Sriram Bharatam.
This three-year program is ready for its next class of entrepreneurial giants. In this course, EO will provide an intense blend of practice and theory that is absolutely necessary to excel, and in a format that fits members’ busy lifestyles. If that sounds good to you, start planning now!
The Entrepreneurs’ Organization is now accepting applications for the EMP Class of 2010, Year 1, which will take place 25-29 June 2008. Take the first step toward entrepreneurial greatness and complete the application by 7 March 2008.
