Dickey Center Research Programs
Learn about the five strategic areas of global concern for which we develop initiatives that provide in-depth knowledge.
The Dickey Center, Tuck School of Business and the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya co-sponsored a one-day conference considering "How Emerging Economies Grow Entrepreneurs: The Case of Israel."
Through a series of keynotes and panels, participants focused on how Israel rose to be the entrepreneurial powerhouse that it is today. Israeli venture capitalists, representatives from leading Israeli high tech companies, and scholars from Israel and the US participated. Panels on "Ambitions: The case of three companies" and "Mentors" considered entrepreneurship "from the ground up" during the morning. The afternoon sessions focused on entrepreneurship "from the top down." A panel on "Global Networks" was followed by a closing keynote conversation with one of Israel's most successful entrepreneurs, Eitan Wertheimer.
The conference was recorded and is available for viewing on the Dickey Center's YouTube channel. Photos of the day's events also were posted to the Dickey Center's Flickr account. The agenda for the day follows.
