Global networked entrepreneurship: linking the world's technopoleis for shared prosperity at home and abroad

This paper presents global networked entrepreneurship as a strategy for linking the world's technopoleis for shared prosperity at home and abroad. Traditionally research on technopoleis has focused on fostering regionally-based technology-intensive wealth and job creation. However, increasingly the emphasis, from the public and private sectors, has shifted toward international collaboration. This paper suggests that as the world's technopoleis move into the 21st Century the linking of talent, technology, capital, and business know-how through global networked entrepreneurship will become a reality. Furthermore, globally-based experiential learning laboratories will be considered fundamentally important to shortened product development and commercialization cycles.
