One Mission, Many Countries: BizWorld’s Global Impact
“BizWorld matters because it gives children the opportunity not just to learn about business, but to experience how their ideas, choices, teamwork, and creativity can create real value.” – BizWorld Taiwan Across the world, young people are learning how to solve problems, make decisions, work with others, and recognise the value of their ideas through BizWorld. This global impact is made possible through local partners who understand their communities, education systems, languages and cultures. Together, they bring hands-on entrepreneurship education to students in ways that are relevant to where and how they learn. Meet BizWorld’s International Partners BizWorld’s growing international network includes partners in: Through its programs and international network, BizWorld has reached more than 900,000 young people across over 100 countries. The meaning behind that reach became especially clear during the 2026 BizWorld Summer Camp. Students from Japan and Taiwan joined young people from the San Francisco Bay Area for four days of hands-on entrepreneurship. They arrived from different countries and cultures, but they worked as teammates. Together, they started companies, shared ideas, made decisions, worked through disagreements, and solved problems. It was a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship education can do more than teach business. It can connect young people across cultures and show them what becomes possible when they work together. International Impact in Action Hong Kong During the 2025–2026 academic year, BizWorld Hong Kong recorded 113 program completions. Another 15 students participated in an open summer camp, where students enjoyed the experience and parents responded positively. The local team has developed a stable relationship with the Independent Schools Foundation, which offers one class each week during the academic year. Students make business decisions, manage money, communicate ideas and experience the realities of running a company together. “While there are many entrepreneurship programs in Hong Kong, none match the sophistication of BizWorld.” – Kara, BizWorld Hong Kong Kara also noted that schools sometimes view sales bazaars and fundraising events as substitutes for entrepreneurship education. BizWorld offers something deeper by giving students responsibility for decisions and allowing them to experience the consequences of those choices. Japan BizWorld Japan has welcomed approximately 3,000 students from 40 schools and programs, ranging from elementary school through university. Wakana Fukuda says students continually surprise her with the originality of their thinking and the seriousness with which they approach their assigned roles. For one middle school student struggling with school attendance, taking responsibility for finance during the program made learning enjoyable again. She later began attending high school regularly while pursuing her dream of becoming a certified public accountant. Her experience reflects why these opportunities matter. A student who was struggling in a traditional learning environment found purpose when she was trusted with a meaningful role. Taiwan Hohoka, BizWorld’s newest partner in Taiwan, has recorded more than 10,000 student participations through its broader entrepreneurship and financial literacy education. The organization officially became a BizWorld partner in the second quarter of 2026 and brought several Taiwanese students to the international summer camp. Roick explained why experiential learning is particularly valuable for students in Taiwan: One 11-year-old camp participant worried that his team’s product was priced too high. The team ultimately earned the highest profit, showing him that pricing is not simply about being the cheapest. It requires an understanding of value, customers, and strategy. Opening New Doors in Nigeria and Vietnam In Nigeria, BizWorld’s partnership with MYLI Africa is preparing to move from school outreach into its first formal implementations. The team is engaging school leaders during an important planning period in the Nigerian academic calendar. The team has been clear that it will not claim participation figures or student stories before programs have formally started. However, interest from educators shows a growing need for practical learning that complements traditional academics. BizWorld Vietnam is also preparing for its first program, with an initial goal of at least 10 students. Early interest has included a mother who plans to participate alongside her son so they can learn, communicate, and work on ideas together. Colina, BizWorld’s partner in Vietnam, has an ambitious long-term vision: Local Knowledge, Shared Purpose Every country has different classrooms, schedules, languages, and educational priorities. BizWorld’s international partnership model respects those differences. The process begins with a consultation to understand each partner’s goals and market. Partners then receive structured onboarding, program training, licensing, and implementation guidance. Materials can be translated and adapted to local educational standards and cultural contexts while preserving the central learning objectives. This approach allows the impact to travel without asking every community to look or learn in exactly the same way. Bring BizWorld to Your Country Every new partnership means more educators equipped with practical resources and more young people given the chance to make decisions, solve problems, find their voices, and take their ideas seriously.
