How Joanne is building a better working world
Entrepreneurs can stimulate economic growth by creating new value, new businesses and new jobs. They ask questions, have an innate curiosity and a passion to follow these lines of inquiry. Joanne recognizes that the successful entrepreneurial ecosystem needs partners like business, government, academia, and associations as well for it to thrive and she works on making the links between these groups.
