| ABOUT MIT GSW | |||
| The annual MIT Global Startup Workshop (GSW) brings together entrepreneurial leaders, financiers, students, professors, government agents and private parties to build a global support network for entrepreneurship. We bridge boundaries across different sectors to stimulate discussion, generate ideas and share best entrepreneurial practices. Since 1998 our non-profit, student run organization has held 12 international workshops, spanning 6 continents and attracted participants from 60 nations. The research and educational environment at MIT fosters a unique ecosystem that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship. A 2009 survey by the Kauffman Foundation reported that the aggregate value of all the companies founded by MIT graduates and faculty would make MIT the 11th largest economy in the world.
The MIT GSW has become a key ambassador for this ecosystem around the globe. Since 1998 we have held 12 international workshops, spanning 6 continents and attracting participants from 60 nations, and built a unique diverse community and dynamic forum. |
