On Thursday, November 17, 10:00-11:00AM PST/1:00-2:00PM EST, Larta Institute (http://larta.org/) is proud to present a Webinar aimed at entrepreneur support programs and organizations. It will discuss 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 – investment, revenue, markets etc. Technology and talent, markets and money, are now globally distributed. Globalization has brought great opportunities for entrepreneurs – new markets, new sources of investment and additional partnership prospects to help them scale and grow. But a rapidly globalizing marketplace also brings opportunities – and challenges - for entrepreneur support organizations. While conventional wisdom prescribes localized strategies for venture accelerators, incubators and regional innovation “clusters” to nurture and cultivate entrepreneurs, the global environment calls for a new strategy and tactics to adapt to a new age of promise: a “network-centric” approach. This innovative approach is both dynamic (always evolving) and adaptive (can be scaled depending on need). This Webinar will present the elements of this network approach to value creation for support systems associated with entrepreneurs. It will feature industry executives, domain experts and entrepreneurs who have first-hand experience with how networks of influence and opportunity create market awareness, relevance and competitiveness.
