INSERT INTO sections VALUES (18,'history','Overview','HISTORY','<font color=#990000 size=\"3\">Inspiring words from GSW founder, <br> Sally Shepard, MIT Sloan MBA Class of 1998</font><p>\r\n\r\n\r\nThroughout 1997, the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition organizers received weekly calls from people around the world interested in learning how to start a business plan competition and sharing best practices to improve existing competitions. These calls came from students, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and government officials committed to helping launch successful new ventures that would fuel local economies. Each of these individuals invested significant personal time and thought in their local entrepreneurship projects and overcame many common process challenges in addition to local issues. These conversations revealed the need for a forum to share experiences organizing business plan competitions, and, as a result, the first MIT Global Startup Workshop was launched in March 1998 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.<p>\r\n\r\nIn 1997, the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition shared best practices with the team that launched the McKinsey-run national business plan competition. In 1998, McKinsey gave back to the global community by becoming the Founding Sponsor of MIT Global Startup Workshop. Gert-Hartwig Lescow, an MIT graduate student and now McKinsey alum, co-organized the first workshop with Sally Shepard.<p>\r\n\r\nThe first MIT Global Startup Workshop focused on the same three core objectives that the workshop retains years later:<p>\r\n\r\n<ul><li>\r\nShare best practices in the running of a business plan competitions</li>\r\n<li>\r\nBuild the global network of business plan competitions</li>\r\n<li>\r\nTransfer knowledge to new competition organizing teams\r\n</li></ul><p>\r\n\r\nThe second annual MIT Global Startup workshop held in Singapore added a fourth goal:<p>\r\n\r\n<ul><li>\r\nBring participants up to date on the state of entrepreneurship in a specific region as well as the rest of the world.</li></ul><p>\r\n\r\nSince its founding, the MIT GSW continues to gather global thought-leaders on new venture creation via the business plan competition process. As the competitions in the global network have matured, the workshop has expanded focus to address building sustainable environments for entrepreneurship.<p>\r\n\r\nThe MIT Global Startup Workshop continues to offer a chance to connect with others from around the world, who share the same passion for entrepreneurship. Beyond the specific tactics suggested in panel discussions, participants report that the dialog and sense of community that stems from the MIT GSW is revitalizing and results in contacts that become a sounding board merely a phone call or an email away.

But when you consider that the key individuals who make the entrepreneurial ecosystem work constitute perhaps less than 1% of the professional population, the challenge seems far more manageable. There are good examples of outstanding individuals successfully innovating, even in developing economies where there is little or no support for entrepreneurship. What can we learn from these individuals?\r\n \r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\nThey are successful in part because they are very skillful in building a supportive environment around them. They create what Steve Brown describes as a Micro-Cluster for Innovation, MCI(tm). Steve has spent 12 years working at MIT and in 10 other countries with over 100 startups as a technology licensing officer, as an MIT 100k entrepreneurial contest judge, National Science Foundation grant reviewer and consultant. From those experiences he has identified those characteristics of MCI\'s that are common across cultures and regions.\r\n \r\n<br> <br>\r\n \r\nCome to the global start up workshop and learn how you can create a MCI for yourself or your clients quickly and at little or no cost. \r\n \r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\nSteve Brown of Innovate4Growth will deliver the keynote address on the second day of the conference describing MCI\'s. After the keynote there will be an opportunity for those selected participants to meet one-on-one with Steve to discuss how best to custom craft an MCI for their environment. If you are interested in a one-on-one meeting with Steve please e-mail Steve at sfbrown [at] mit.edu with no more than two pages of information describing what works well in your ecosystem, and what works poorly. Participants will be selected based on the quality of their input.','','','','');
