Description: While the gatherings of international organizations such as the World Bank, OECD and APEC have offered much attention to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), there has been less dialogue and collaboration globally among senior government leaders on policies focused on new and young firms to encourage more high growth startups—a major driver of economic growth and job creation. The GEC Policy Summit explores this gap by sharing effective national approaches in assisting indigenous startups.
Partner of the GEC 2013, the Startup Urba me developed a map with the locations and event schedule.
The Map of GEC 2013 is available on site and also in Urba me application for Android and iPhone.
