SCALE 360 addresses these challenges by offering tailored resources, strategic guidance, and a robust peer-learning community aimed at strengthening the sector.
This info session will provide an overview of the SCALE 360 program, detailing the tools, insights, and support mechanisms available to participating BDS providers.

Whether you lead an accelerator, incubator, or other BDS initiative, this session is an opportunity to explore how SCALE 360 can support your organization’s growth and long-term impact.
The SCALE framework, developed by the Argidius Foundation, was designed to fill this gap by transforming how business development services (BDS) effectively support SGBs. The SCALE acronym covers five dimensions of effective BDS support, including:
S:Â Select the right enterprises
C:Â Charging enterprises improves performance
A:Â Address problems (we learn best by problem solving)
L:Â Learn by evaluating enterprise performance
E:Â Lead by Example (improve your own organization to better serve enterprises)
