Panel II: International business ecosystems

Back to the programme

Providing the infrastructure and conditions for SMS to expand internationally
This panel focuses on the "how's" rather than the "what's" (which are the main focus of Panel I). Knowing that many different aspects will have to be taken care of, a company will seek an environment where these conditions can be met.

We will call these "business ecosystems". These will make available the necessary infrastructures, have service providers for all necessary activities close by, etc. But business ecosystems cannot, in a globalised world, exist as mere islands. They have to be networked regionally and globally.

Discussion


 * How can business ecosystems be networked?
 * Is cluster twinning helpful for this?
 * Which are the necessary conditions for successful cluster twinnig?
 * What role do service providers play?
 * What role do governments play?
