Our old ideas about incubation of startups are broken. Its not just that they arent working any longerthey never worked. Recent research shows this. But today there are new paradigms enabling governments to spur the creation of many healthy new startups. Cambridge Innovation Center serves as a model. The new paradigms use less government subsidy, and are more impactful, because they do a few basic things right. Chief among these, is that they are designed in a way to attract the strongest entrepreneurs from the region and around the world, rather than being designed to appeal to weaker entrepreneurs. Tim discusses what one needs to do to build such a center.
Recent research shows that new jobs in the United States come almost exclusively from new companies. Established companies are collectively shedding jobs. This is leading many established organizations to seek a better understanding of the approaches to business fostered in startups that are leading to such successful outcomes. Not only do US based companies need a better understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship but countries around the globe need to address these issues as they are faced with crushing unemployment and stagnating economies. Some of the questions Tim will address in this talk include: What is innovation and where does it come from? How can we create an environment to get more? Where does successful innovation-based entrepreneurship come from, really? How are healthy startup cultures fostered? Tim speaks from his experience at the Cambridge Innovation Center, telling success stories of individual entrepreneurs, and describing how the startup ecosystem works in the MIT innovation cluster.
