Description
This report summarizes an APEC Economic Committee workshop on catalyzing the growth of inclusive and sustainable start-up ecosystems. This workshop was held on 29 September 2021 and organized by officials from New Zealand’s Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE), facilitated in partnership with Startup Genome.
This project sought to bring together international experts on startup ecosystems, public sector policy makers, investors, and intermediaries to consider how innovation can be nurtured to kick-start inclusive and sustainable growth that can be enjoyed throughout the region.
The workshop identified a number of potential policy levers which could help startup ecosystems achieve greater and more positive impact, including:
- Reliable data on startup ecosystems
- Public-private partnership
- Encouraging local collaboration to address global challenges
- Demand-side policy
- Coordination within governments
