NextBillion, an initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan, is an open forum that focuses on the development through enterprise sector. With a platform for discussion, NextBillion facilitates conversations around business models and innovations that tackle development challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The site features guest-written content from entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and others who work in LMICs, alongside occasional interviews with executive-level leaders.

With a goal to disseminate knowledge about the opportunities and challenges of doing business in developing markets, NextBillion supports enterprises and initiatives on the ground. While their coverage primarily focuses on LMICs, they also cover businesses and initiatives serving low-income communities in the United States. They publish articles from authors with diverse viewpoints, and guest writers are encouraged to freely share their opinions.

NextBillion also provides a curated newsfeed, a calendar of events, and a jobs board that highlights positions available across the development sector. With over 60% of its readers being entrepreneurs/business owners or executive-level leaders, NextBillion is a valuable resource for those interested in market-based solutions to development-related challenges
