About
Our Organization
GBENI is a Michigan-based nonprofit business network created to help organizations grow through relationships, knowledge and access to opportunity.
Overview
An organization built around connection
The Global Business Expansion Network Inc. (GBENI) is a nonprofit organization based in Michigan. Our purpose is to help businesses grow by building the relationships, understanding and access required for expansion at home and abroad.
We work with businesses of all sizes, entrepreneurs, institutions, economic-development organizations, industry leaders and strategic partners. Each relationship contributes to a network in which introductions, guidance and opportunity move in both directions.
Detailed organizational information, including governance and program schedules, will be published here as it is finalized.
