The Globally Networked Approach to Commercializing Tech-Based Innovation

This Webinar is aimed at entrepreneur support programs and organizations. It discusses a new approach to building and cultivating networks for the benefit of entrepreneurs in your region. It is based on a successful model developed and managed by Larta that has resulted in strong outcomes.

A rapidly globalizing marketplace has brought great opportunities for entrepreneurs. It also brings opportunities – and challenges – for entrepreneur support organizations. While conventional wisdom prescribes localized strategies for venture accelerators, globally distributed technology, talent, markets and money call for a new strategy and tactics: a "network-centric" approach.

This Webinar presents the elements of this new approach to value creation for support systems associated with entrepreneurs. It features the following speakers who have first-hand experience with how networks of influence and opportunity create market awareness, relevance and competitiveness:
