Emerging Economies | February 24, 2018 |
We did a global curation this week. From Seedstars Summit to Blockchain Summit in Kenya; From what you don't know about China (and maybe Sequoia too); to what you should know about Latin American Government's extra efforts of building startup ecosystems; and a couple of other stories from Investment to support...this week is a good journey. Sit back and read and share the good news.
Emerging Economies are emerging!
Cheers.
