Innovation
Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Emerging Economies
Survey startup ecosystems, innovation drivers, investment scenarios, and growth opportunities to facilitate entrepreneurial ventures.
Why this program
Understand, navigate, and contribute to the dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems shaping the future of emerging markets.
Entrepreneurship is a powerful engine of growth, job creation, and innovation, particularly in emerging economies. Yet start-ups flourish only when supported by a healthy ecosystem of funding, mentorship, policy, talent, and markets. This program examines how such ecosystems are built and sustained, with a focus on India and other emerging markets. Participants will explore the roles of incubators, accelerators, venture capital, universities, and government schemes. Through case studies of successful hubs and start-ups, they will identify the challenges and opportunities unique to these economies. The program is valuable for policymakers, educators, investors, and aspiring entrepreneurs.
