Coming March 2012: Open Source Entrepreneurship
A Fringe Event of the Global Entrepreneurship Congress. Date and venue tbc – initial idea is Weds the 14th of March 2012 and DoES Liverpool in Hanover Street.
Looking at ways entrepreneurs have found to mutually aid each other's businesses for the good of all.
Especially in the technology sector, but across the start-up scene in general, entrepreneurs are coming together to share commercial understanding. This is because business owners recognise they are more likely to thrive in the context of a strong local industry than they are in isolation. By assisting the growth of your competitor, you are adding value to your own company.
We explore this reality with reference to Liverpool, the North West and the 'Silicon Roundabout' in London. From Hacker spaces, to Lean Start-up Groups to Un-conferences, technology sector businesses are creating the basis of their own success from within their own culture. A panel of industry experts considers what we are doing for ourselves, and how best to improve on what already is proving so useful.
Practical tips, utopian dreaming and a solid networking opportunity for all bootstrapping entrepreneurs out there.
Supported by Liverpool Vision, LJMU OpenLabs, Liverpool Science Park and Doers of Epic Stuff Liverpool. Organised by Digital Creativity in Disability and DefNet Media.
