Hacking Entrepreneurship from Government

#sxsw #HackGovt

Iap28215

Chile claims to have hacked the system, boosting an innovation hub starting from the government. Dynamic public policies such as Start-Up Chile became key players to cut much of that red tape that is still alive in many nations.
Join this panel to learn Start-Up Chile's perspective on how to boost an innovative tech ecosystem and how to take the best out of it as a high potential entrepreneur. It's time to believe it: Santiago jumped onto the list of the most innovative cities of the world, and it offers entrepreneurs the chance to start up with the biggest multinational/multicultural community of entrepreneurs in the world.
