Startup Nations members, GEN in-country affiliate leaders, and knowledge partners host year-round Startup Nations Policy Dialogues. These dialogues are designed to facilitate discussions on government-led interventions at local, national and regional levels. Via candid conversations focused on current policy challenges, innovative policy solutions, new evidence on impact, and upcoming policy priorities, these Policy Dialogues help prepare governments for their participation at the annual Startup Nations Ministerial. They also help enhance coordination and cooperation across all levels of government - national, regional and city. Below is a summary of the recent and upcoming Policy Dialogues.
