 | | Emerging Economies | March 18, 2018 |
There has been a lot of news at play in the Emerging Economies. As the year is picking momentum, the startup scene in the emerging economies have also been showing what they are about: large numbers, resilient and full of spirit. The ecosystems showing more maturity with more players coming in.
This week in Emerging Economies Digest we have captured individual, but similar activities by Visa and Master to engage startups from emerging economies, activations that are large in multiple countries to change the world of entrepreneurship, and a focused activity to engage more women in Bahrain. It starts with the global views of Poland Ecosystem and ends with evolved ways in which Armenia looks at startups!
We were also hosted by Techstars Dubai by MD Vijay and Director Ramzy; exchange included an inclusivity workshop, startup access to Techstars programs globally and a whole hearted #GiveFirst living.
Enjoy your Digest and share if you think we have done a good job.
Cheers.
