500 E 4th St

Join representatives from the US Department of State and the University of Texas at Austin to discuss how international public private partnerships can empower young aspiring science and technology entrepreneurs in emerging economies, and connect companies to the best and brightest ideas and talent from around the world.

The State Department’s Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) program’s new online GIST Network supports young science and technology entrepreneurs through a new public private partnership with nine university and private sector partners.

Learn about how GISTnetwork.org focuses on global peer networking, entrepreneurship skill-building, in-depth mentorship, and strategic seed funding to provide the most connected generation in history access to the resources they need to advance their ideas and startups and improve their communities, and find out how you can get involved.
