All this buzz is only starting… They got the pilot program going on in 2010 and they are targeting another 200 international startups to launch their operation in Chile this year. How amazing it is to think that U$50m from the government initiative is enough to transform and nurture entrepreneurship and create so much relevancy.

That is right – the advisor behind this Chilean government initiative is Vivek Wadhwa.

Brazil Innovators is  excited to have him as guest speaker for our #brnewtech meet-up. It is an event put together from entrepreneur to entrepreneur – we bring together entrepreneurs, executives, investors, media and researchers for networking and resource sharing.

Mr. Wadhwa has a blend of Berkeley, Duke, Harvard, Techcrunch, Business Week- I highly recommend reading his bio and his articles / papers at http://wadhwa.com and follow him on twitter/wadhwa

He is not only an academic thought leader and writer, but his experience comes from advising several startups and being an entrepreneur himself.

With such an amazing combination of knowledge and expertise, he will be sharing his insights to the BrNewTech community around:

• Characteristics of a successful entrepreneur
• Important things on building a business
• On building the community and cluster

So all, on January 17th  (7:30pm -8:00pm- Brasilia Time) – be prepared to fire questions for a thought provoking session. The 2 questions that will remain for us are:

1) When are bringing Mr Wadhwa to Brazil to help foster our own “Brazilicon Valley”

2) How are we making Mr Wadhwa research and write about Brazil?!

Two main takeaways:

1) Tips for being successful entrepreneur: be authentic to the initial drive and don’t get influenced by outside noises.

2) His business card, so I could contact him to bring in the Brazilian innovators during our tech mission trip in late October 2010, this is a maybe…
