The Nucleus of Entrepreneurs
in a Business Chamber

The Nucleus starts - a common question is: "When will it end?"

The answer is simple:  

·  As soon as there is nothing more to improve in the companies and

·  the entrepreneurs encounter a perfect environment for their businesses.

This means: Never! 

The world, know-how, markets, products, technologies, management - everything is changing very fast. Consequently the entrepreneur will have to adapt his / her enterprise permanently.

The Nucleus is forever !

The search for ideas and problem solving solution starts within the Nucleus, then in the chamber and only as a last step on the world market.

The effect: The nearer the solutions are to find, the less costly is the procuring !

Example: Huge Brazilian companies were searching for technical solutions for environmental problems in America and Europe - and were very much surprised, when they discovered through the Nucleus that the company on the other side of the street had already developed a solution - the know-how was available in their own town!

Or better: Participate !

Contact the counsellors of the chambers and associations about the running Nuclei and how to participate.

If a Nucleus of your sector does not yet exist, discuss with the counsellor, how to found one.

Nucleus enterprises are the better enterprises !
