This workshop was an opportunity to promote the exchange of ideas among entrepreneurs who are on the path to commercialisation, connect them with experts, and help our entrepreneurs learn from each other. About 30 entrepreneurs were invited from across the country, all winners of one of the several U.S.-India programs including the U.S.-India Science & Technology Endowment Fund, Millennium Alliance, DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Program, Stanford India Bio-design Program, and the DST-IUSSTF-Anita Borg Institute Women Entrepreneurship Quest.
Through the workshop, these award-winning entrepreneurs identified common challenges facing their startups and suggested solutions. The broad discussion areas included product commercialisation, team building, branding, product promotion, government support, scaling up of a venture, regulatory compliance, and fundraising.There was special focus on “promoting women entrepreneurs in science and technology,”which remains a priority for bilateral engagement between the governments of the United States of America and India.
The workshop was intended to further the engagement between the United States and India on science and technology entrepreneurship issues, as well as commemorate the Global Entrepreneurship Week (http://www.gew.co/), a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, to promoteand celebrateentrepreneurship worldwide.
