Hidden Fields



The Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) Innovation Hub community builds strong and vibrant networks of entrepreneurs across the world by focusing on helping young science and technology entrepreneurs through community-led meetup groups. The program aims to catalyze the participants’ networking and entrepreneurial skills to build durable, long-term, supportive networks both in their home country and through the GIST Network around the world. 

 
By launching a GIST Innovation Hub, you will join a network that nurtures the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators through direct, on-the-ground training. The intention of a GIST Innovation Hub is to provide resources that entrepreneurs in your local communities can adapt to their unique sets of social, political, and economic circumstances.
