MIT Global Startup Workshop in India

 

The 2016 Workshop will build on the overwhelming success of the MIT GSW in the past, which brought together thousands of participants from more than 70 international markets and representatives from across the globe. Since 1998, this non-profit organization has held 18 international workshops, spanning 6 continents, and has attracted participants from over 70 nations.

 

The MIT GSW is the world’s premier workshop dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship, inspiring future innovators, and building entrepreneurial ecosystems globally. Each year, the workshop takes place in a different location, and brings together over 300 entrepreneurial leaders, executives, students, next generation entrepreneurs, professors, financiers, government agents, and private supporters to build a global support network for entrepreneurship. MIT GSW bridges boundaries across different sectors to stimulate discussion, generate ideas, and share best entrepreneurial practices.

 

A powerful way that MIT’s education drives progress is through the graduates starting companies that deliver innovation, skills and knowledge to the world. A report released this month informs us that living MIT alumni have launched more than 30,000 active companies, creating 4.6 million jobs, and generating roughly $1.9 trillion in annual revenue.
