Reimagining the business space in the era of physical distancing, the TiE Global Summit curates a mega virtual conference where some of brightest minds in the world will come forth to guide and mentor 20,000+ entrepreneurs and show them the way forward.

For an entrepreneur, relevance is a magical word. At different stages of the journey, it means different things.

Staying relevant could mean finding funds to shield your concept in a crisis or winning new customers when older ones disappear. It could mean rediscovering your business model or gaining new technological expertise to further strengthen your product. In fact, no other moment in modern history exemplifies the significance of the word for businesses than today.

The global morale took an irreparable hit in 2020. For majority of the 582 million entrepreneurs across the world, life turned into a nightmare overnight. The sheer unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has left entrepreneurs in disarray, struggling to connect the dots and chalk out the way forward.

In the time of need, true guidance is hard to get if one keeps operating in silos. This pivotal aspect of business is being realised by the TiE Global Summit 2020, organised by the Hyderabad Chapter of The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), a Silicon Valley non-profit that acts as a support system for the global entrepreneur ecosystem. The summit, a three-day, 60-hour marathon event, will offer thousands of young entrepreneurs the opportunity to gain knowledge and support from some of most successful entrepreneurs of the day.
