The event ended with an invitation for participants to commit to leading, supporting, or following the ESHIP Goal that best aligned with their interest and work.

The ESHIP Goals are a proposed set of collective objectives to further
fortify the entrepreneurial ecosystem building field. Modeled on the
United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the ESHIP Goals will
serve as a checklist to help us prioritize, organize, and collaborate as we
work together to improve the effectiveness of our field as a whole and, as
a result, the effectiveness of individual ecosystem builders everywhere.
Achieving these goals will strengthen our profession and accelerate
its adoption in more communities—removing more barriers for more
entrepreneurs throughout the world.
For more background on our intentions and inspirations for the ESHIP
Goals, see Section IV of the current draft of the Kauffman Ecosystem
Building Playbook: “How Do We Scale the Impact of Ecosystem
Builders?” (www.kauffman.org/playbook).
