WHAT IS GLOCAL ALLIANCE?
» Glocal Alliance is an initiative that seeks to create an international / global
collaboration space amongst:
a) Entrepreneurs and startups
b) Initiatives that promote entrepreneurship, startups accelerators, export and
investment entities,
c) Local, regional and / or specialized media outlets.
» We think that local, regional or specialized media have an approach to
reality, different from statewide / national media, and it is with that
approach itself where they must find and expand their strengths.
» We also strongly believe that current changes and transformations require
answers that go beyond strictly local markets, and that cooperation with
the community of entrepreneurs and startups is a commitment and a
responsibility.
» Successfully addressing these challenges comes Glocal Alliance, as its
name states, wants to unite our strength in the local with the global
aspiration.
