Description
Entrepreneurial ecosystems have become a cornerstone of economic development, fostering innovation, investment, and business growth. While general best practices in ecosystem-building are well established, the landscape is shifting. For example, while in the past, entrepreneurial ecosystems were built on local networks and referrals, future ecosystems will need to connect these networks across communities and countries. Future ecosystems will also need to empower entrepreneurs to use AI, VR, IoT, and AR through all stages of business formation and growth.
Join us to examine how leaders can build on what works while embracing these emerging trends to ensure their ecosystems remain resilient, inclusive, and positioned for global success.
