ACCELERATE 2030 CONFERENCE INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP THE NEW CURRENCY FOR DEVELOPMENT

It is very clear that there are gaps in the early-stage support structure for startups. What if the odds of success are engineered a bit through the orchestration of the startup value chain to market? Will an entrepreneurial value chain approach to structuring and efficiently orchestrating support for startups programs on their journey, likely improve on start-up success rates and lift up the prospects of the ecosystem?

Join us on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, as the Entrepreneurial Value Chain Approach Panel deliberates on the above topic. The panel will discuss the value chain approach to plugging the holes in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Ghana and Africa, based on their experience in the industry. The panel is made up of members of an entrepreneurial ecosystem design team organized by Ashesi University’s NEXTi2i program in collaboration with MIT D-Lab and with support from USAID.
