Global Entrepreneurship Week USA national partner, SourceLink, will be virtually hosting a session titled The Benefits of the Hub & Spoke Model for Building Entrepreneurship Ecosystems on Wednesday, November 16 during Global Entrepreneurship Week.
The session will cover the hub and spoke model and how to adopt the approach to ecosystem building. Hubs (nonprofits, state and local government, universities, and tribal entities) can support spokes (trusted, culturally knowledgeable local groups and individuals) in connecting entrepreneurs to resources that help them start and grow.
The hub and spoke model is one of the oldest and most effective ways to build infrastructure to support entrepreneurs. With the model seeing a rise in popularity, it’s a great chance to hear from experts on tips for executing the model in your community.
