Ecosystem bridges

How we build ecosystem bridges


To empower entrepreneurs and their ecosystems, it is important to not only look at providing support programs. One of the hardest challenges for entrepreneurs and other entrepreneurship ecosystem participants is acquiring the right network so that they can gain access to the right opportunities and knowledge when it is needed.

  • Delegation trips are a proven approach for expanding entrepreneur networks and typically provide tangible actionable connections for participating entrepreneurs.
  • Summits and conferences such as the AsiaBerlin Summit are a powerful way of connecting a broad range of ecosystem participants.
  • Event series are often sector specific and are effective in connecting clusters of ecosystem participants.
