About this badge

Whether in Buenos Aires or Beirut, Mombasa or Mumbai, people across continents are using entrepreneurship to solve the problems that have plagued them for so long and to revolutionize the systems that have denied them progress. They are doing what Silicon Valley did to corporate America—impelling the establishment to abandon outdated and hierarchical processes and to adopt more flexible and collaborative practices. Individuals in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East who have promising ideas are driving change. They are turning the start-up dream—once limited to Silicon Valley—into a universal one. Using case studies, examine how entrepreneurs across the global have overcome obstacles to create change. Explore emerging economic forces that are transforming societies just as completely as Steve Jobs and other Silicon Valley idols did just decades ago.
