PUM. Together we grow

PUM rolls up its sleeves to make a real difference, both locally and worldwide, by backing businesses and the networks that surround them. The team works side by side with small and medium-sized businesses—as well as the groups that support them—giving entrepreneurs the tools they need to grow in ways that actually work and last. With about 1,200 seasoned experts on board, PUM dives into partnerships with businesses in 30 countries. They bring hands-on know-how, sharpen strategies, and boost results in areas like operations, finance, marketing, governance, and sustainability. The aim isn’t just to help one company at a time—it’s about lifting the whole business environment so everyone can compete and succeed together.

What really sets PUM apart is the way it looks at the bigger picture. Instead of just handing out quick advice, PUM focuses on fine-tuning entire business ecosystems. Think of these ecosystems as a network where businesses team up with industry groups, training centers, financial partners, and even government or development agencies when needed. By working together, they tackle shared problems, open new doors, and build stronger ties in the market. When everyone pulls in the same direction, they create more economic value—like growth and productivity—but also social value through jobs and skills, plus ecological value by working smarter and cleaner. PUM fosters this kind of teamwork and knowledge sharing, helping business ecosystems run better. The end result? Entrepreneurs can really thrive, communities see real benefits, and the impact sticks around for the long haul.
