» Glocal Alliance is an initiative that seeks to create an international / global collaboration space amongst:

a) Entrepreneurs and startups

b) Initiatives that promote entrepreneurship, startups accelerators, export and investment entities,

c) Local, regional and / or specialized media outlets.

» We think that local, regional or specialized media have an approach to reality, different from statewide / national media, and it is with that approach itself where they must find and expand their strengths.

» We also strongly believe that current changes and transformations require answers that go beyond strictly local markets, and that cooperation with the community of entrepreneurs and startups is a commitment and a responsibility.

» Successfully addressing these challenges comes Glocal Alliance, as its name states, wants to unite our strength in the local with the global aspiration.
