Economic development is a complex balancing act between the macroeconomic policy agenda of the nation and the need to invest resources strategically in institutions and individuals at the local level who are actively pursuing innovation, entrepreneurship and increased production.

This webinar will focus on the concept and practice of creating global partnerships to strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems; and how those partnerships will increase the prospect of advancing commerce and trade between participating economies and accelerate business opportunities for all stakeholders.

Our ability to solve complex economic development challenges and take advantage of opportunities is enhanced when you build effective networks within and across regions. A region that has invested in building effective networks based on clusters can more quickly match solution seekers with solution providers. Networks are enhanced through connection of, and participation by, diverse groups, institutions of excellence in research and learning, and leaders and role models who invite open participation of individuals and groups from across many disciplines.
