Chaos is Essential for Startup Ecosystems
Building and developing a startup ecosystem requires not only “order” but also creative chaos.
This session will discuss the importance of “chaos” in creating new value by breaking out of the existing structure and framework, and how to realize it from various perspectives with actual examples. You will understand deeply the essence of the ecosystem and the actions necessary for its development through this session.
