Startups face tremendous odds: not just to survive the dreaded Valley of Death, but to stand out, shine and succeed. This is especially true for those with international aspirations. Do you have what it takes to compete? Do we all?
Come to Kickstart Startup Mixer: Compete!
Thursday, March 27, 6:30pm at Kickstart in #Area55.
Guillermo "Bill" Luz, Private Sector Co-Chairman of the National Competitiveness Council, will talk about what it takes to compete in this ever smaller world. The Philippines' ranking rose in the last two years: what can we do to drive it up, and to take advantage of these improvements?
Come over, listen, learn, and participate. And as ever, make friends, swap stories, and have a drink with us (we're turning two next week, did we tell you?).
