Description

In an era of rapid digitalization and shifting trade dynamics, how do young founders transform a local solution into a global enterprise? This interactive workshop, hosted by JCI, dives into the heart of Pillar IV of the OECD Global Forum. Participants will move beyond theory to engage in a hands-on "Interactive Lab," mapping out market entry points and identifying the leadership skills necessary to navigate international barriers. Whether you are an entrepreneur looking to scale, a policymaker designing ecosystem support, or a business leader seeking fresh innovation, this session provides the practical tools and global networks needed to turn local potential into international success.
