Jordi Argente
El foco de mi trabajo es doble:
- Encontrar y evaluar nuevas oportunidades de negocio internacionalmente, especialmente en las economías emergentes de Asia y Oriente Medio, representando a inversores globales.
- Encontrar start-ups tecnológicas para inversores de capital riesgo, y dar soporte a sus emprendedores para evolucionar desde un estadío "semilla" o "start-up" hasta una fase de "crecimiento", en especial dando soporte a las compañías tecnológicas de Silicon Valley.
Soy un firme creyente en la globalización de los mercados, especialmente para las compañías de base tecnológica.
Very Interesting Article on the Long-term Contribution of Entrepreneurship to Economic Development and Employment
I recomend reading this article on the impact of MIT-related entrepreneurship to the economic development of a region.
The article estimates close to one million jobs worldwide were created by MIT-related entrepreneurship: California - estimated at 526,000 jobs, New York -estimated at 231,000 jobs, Texas - estimated at 184,000, and Virginia - estimated at 136,000).
