Overview
Through partnerships with U.S. Embassies and in-country startup incubators, the GIST Masterclass Series brings U.S. experts in entrepreneurship to a specific country for face-to-face interactions with stakeholders. These interactions help build a regional startup network that supports science and technology startups.
GIST Masterclass Series range in topics from the Lean Startup Method to supporting innovation by young STEM entrepreneurs. Masterclass participants have included managers of science-technology parks, university faculty, local and national economic development officials, incubators and accelerators, university students, and entrepreneurs.
In addition to numerous virtual events, GIST has hosted masterclasses in Morocco, Serbia, the Philippines, Egypt, Portugal, and Indonesia.
