Creating Growth and Jobs for a New Era

No Rain, no Flowers: Funding Start-ups

Speakers: Rishi Khosla, Ahmed F. Karslı, Jacqueline Poh, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Navin Chaddha

Entrepreneurship and Innovation ecosystems are powerful drivers of economic growth and job creation, yet access to capital for start-ups is increasingly difficult, with global venture funding down 42% for the first three quarters of 2023 compared to the same timeframe last year.

How can we increase access to capital and build collaborative innovation ecosystems to allow entrepreneurs to thrive and create the jobs of tomorrow?

This session is directly linked to the Future of Venture Capital Initiative of the World Economic Forum Centre for Financial and Monetary Systems.
