"As one of the most active VCs in the world, we aim to extend our global footprint beyond investing. Through our partnerships with corporates, investors, governments and foundations, we are committed to building interconnected startup ecosystems across the world," claimed our chief speaker on Technology and Innovation Leadership, Christine Tsai. Having extensive experience in such well-known companies as Google and YouTube and growing 500 Startups to over $500M committed capital, Christine wants to share with WIM's audience her insights about Global Startup Ecosystems.
