About Us

The Entrepreneurship Hub (E-Hub) is a non-profit organization that is a collaborative effort with the US Embassy, members of YLAI Young Leaders of America Initiative and other US program Alumni. The E-Hub seeks to create an enabling environment for entrepreneurship within Trinidad and Tobago (T&T).

Its primary task is to become an entrepreneurship community that promotes collaboration, consensus building and shared knowledge about business best practices.

This will be achieved by creating an effective platform for networking, training, and policy improvements to positively impact the community by promoting employment, economic growth, and opportunities.

We execute projects that promote an enabling environment for entrepreneurship.

Mapping the Social Entrepreneurial Landscape is a US Embassy grant funded project that seeks to

Take the Survey

The Social Convening

A Workshop of Social Entrepreneurs to Discuss Practical Strategies to Overcoming Major Legal and Financial Constraints of Doing Business in Trinidad and Tobago

Through the E-Hub’s initiative of Mapping the Social Entrepreneurship Landscape, we were able to identify and catalog 109 Social Entrepreneurs in T&T. The data reflected that many of our social entrepreneurs operate in alignment with at least one United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Mapping the Social Entrepreneurial Landscape allowed for the capture of vital data to be used in supporting and encouraging these social endeavors.

From the data collected, the E-Hub was able to log the financial and legal barriers facing social entrepreneurs in Trinidad and Tobago.
