International Networks There are approximately 4000 virtual enterprise firms (called practice firms in many countries) from more than 40 different countries. Each country has a central office to coordinate the activities of the practice firms in their country. PEN International (www.europen.de) is the international organization that supports, coordinates and develops services for all practice firms.  PEN International's objectives are to:

  • Facilitate exchange of information
  • Provide innovative training tools to its members
  • Promote the practice firm concept
  • Represent its members at different government levels

Firms in the U.S. Network are encouraged to engage in business with international firms and may easily contact them using the PEN International database of worldwide practice firms which can be accessed from the PEN International website.
