Philadelphia's 2016 Global Acceleration Summit

             "The Sky's The Limit"

The Acceleration Summit on November 18, 2016 to rapidly advance your business, your career, your organization, your City and nation into the Innovation Economy.   

Rapid change is happening.  Widespread, nonstop innovation is impacting every aspect of your life.   You see the Internet of Everything (IoE) transforming every industry around you but you are trying to determine your role, what you can do, how you can participate, learn and maximize your position inside tremendous change.   The Acceleration Summit is designed to give you immediate tools, skills, connections and knowledge to get you better-positioned to win. 

Establishing stronger tools, attracting talent and building a more-defined pathway for entrepreneurs and new ventures is mission-critical for Philadelphia.  Presently, Philadelphia is ranked 34th in Start-Up Activity, 17th in Main Street Entrepreneurship, and 21st in Growth Entrepreneurship by the Kauffman Foundation.  In other words, compared to other NFL/MLB cities, Philadelphia is near-bottom on the statistics that matter most in the Innovation Economy.  

To compete in the Innovation Economy, we must immediately work-together to make Philadelphia stronger for entrepreneurs and start-up companies in all industries.  Stated in the Kauffman reports, "entrepreneurs flourish in a connected, dense, and diverse ecosystem where they can move quickly to take advantage of opportunities."
